Parking at the Hospital on 24th Street
The public parking garage serving San Francisco General Hospital is at 2500 24th Street, directly across from the hospital. San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency owns the garage, and LAZ Parking operates it. The facility is open 24/7 for indoor self-parking, making it the hospital’s most straightforward option for overnight visits and staff shifts (zsfg.ucsf.edu; sfmta.com; lazparking.com).
Garage charges run from $5 an hour to $29 for the longest published stay, with the 5-to-6-hour period priced at $21.50, the 6-to-7-hour period at $25, and 7 to 24 hours at $29 (zuckerbergsanfranciscogeneral.org; sfmta.com). Parking at the site is somewhat limited, while staff reporting described approximately 850 hospital-garage spots and about 600 people on a waitlist (zuckerbergsanfranciscogeneral.org; sfstandard.com). The hospital directs parking questions to 628-206-8000, and the garage operator lists 415-874-4356 (zuckerbergsanfranciscogeneral.org; lazparking.com).
Metered Streets and Residential Parking Near 1001 Potrero Avenue
Some metered street parking is available around the hospital, but the hospital describes its parking supply as somewhat limited (zuckerbergsanfranciscogeneral.org). Drivers using curb spaces near 1001 Potrero Avenue should read the posted meter and curb signs before leaving the vehicle, particularly where hospital access, loading, or neighborhood regulations affect the space.
The surrounding streets serve both a major medical campus and nearby residential blocks, so a curb space is not a dependable plan for a long appointment or a full shift. A meter can work for a brief visit when a legal space is available, while longer stays are better matched to a garage or reserved off-street space. The public garage sits across the street on 24th Street, keeping hospital parking away from the residential curb search (zsfg.ucsf.edu).
Parksy Spaces Within Reach of the Hospital
For a low-cost longer stay, a secure 24/7 garage space is 0.4 mi away for $15 a week. A private space with 24/7 access is 0.6 mi away for $200 a month, which suits recurring appointments or workers needing a regular base. A monthly space in San Francisco is 0.8 mi away for $350 a month.
Day visitors have two KQED HQ garage spaces 0.5 mi away, each priced at $12.50 a day. A valet space at 311 Kansas Street is 0.6 mi away for $26.50 a day. The weekly and monthly options are the strongest fit for repeated hospital visits or shift work, while the daily spaces are more practical when the visit has a defined start and finish.
Arriving for Appointments and Emergency Care
The hospital address is 1001 Potrero Avenue in San Francisco, near Potrero Hill. For general hospital parking, the public garage is at 2500 24th Street across from the hospital, so drivers can use that location rather than searching directly beside the main address (zsfg.ucsf.edu). The garage is available around the clock, which is useful for early appointments, late discharges, and overnight work (lazparking.com).
Drivers bringing someone for urgent care should follow the hospital’s emergency access signs and use the emergency department approach rather than delaying at a meter. The site’s constrained parking supply and the reported waitlist for hospital-garage spaces make the across-the-street garage or a pre-arranged Parksy space more predictable than relying on a curb space (zuckerbergsanfranciscogeneral.org; sfstandard.com).

22nd Street station is the nearest station, 0.7 mi from the hospital and a 14-minute walk. The hospital is 0.4 mi from the center of nearby Potrero Hill, placing the medical campus within a short local trip for residents and visitors already in the area.
