Parksy Parking Spaces Within 0.4 Miles of the Hospital
Parksy lists several nearby garage spaces 0.4 mi from the hospital. A garage on 233 College St. costs $10 a day, as does the Crown Street Garage and another secure garage space in New Haven. These options suit visitors who need a predictable space away from the hospital entrance.
Two secure covered spaces at 1 Temple St. are listed at $9 a day and are also 0.4 mi away. Covered parking can be useful for longer appointments or treatment visits, when leaving the car parked for much of the day is more convenient than moving it between appointments.
A 24/7 lot space in New Haven is listed at $9 an hour and sits 0.4 mi from the hospital. The all-hours format may work better for an early or late shift, while the daily spaces are the clearer choice for a long hospital visit.
Arriving at the Park Street Hospital Entrance
The Smilow driveway and drop-off zone is closed to all vehicle traffic, according to Ride Closer to Free (rideclosertofree.org). Drivers should plan around that restriction rather than expecting to pull directly into the driveway for a patient handoff.
Park Street between the hospital and the surrounding Yale New Haven buildings is identified in the travel information from Ride Closer to Free (rideclosertofree.org). Emergency Department parking is in patient-only lot #1 at Howard and Davenport avenues (ynhh.org), giving urgent arrivals a separate destination from the main hospital parking arrangements.
The hospital is 0.6 mi from New Haven center. For a scheduled appointment, allowing time to reach the Air Rights Garage or a nearby space is more practical than relying on curbside stopping at 35 Park Street.
Street Parking and Neighborhood Restrictions Near 35 Park Street
The hospital driveway and drop-off zone are closed to vehicle traffic (rideclosertofree.org), so the area immediately around the entrance is not a suitable place to wait in a car. The restriction is particularly important for drivers carrying passengers who need extra time to get out.

For a longer stay, using the Air Rights Garage, patient-only Emergency Department lot #1, or a nearby Parksy space avoids blocking the restricted driveway and reduces the risk of leaving a vehicle where hospital access is required.
