Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## North Park University Campus Parking at Foster and Kedzie Campus parking is limited, and all students and employees need a valid permit before using the on-campus lots (northpark.edu). Traditional undergraduate and graduate residents and commuter students purchase parking for each academic semester through the North Park University permit portal (permitsales.net). The campus does not publish a general daily rate in the cited parking guidance, so students and staff should use the permit system rather than plan around an hourly charge. Visitors can park free in the university lot on the southeast corner of Foster and Kedzie Avenues (northpark.edu). The visitor arrangement applies during business hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday (northpark.edu). The campus map identifies commuter student and visitor parking areas, with accessible parking spaces also marked (northpark.edu). ## Term-Time Pressure Around the North Park Campus Parking demand is strongest when classes are in session because commuter students use the campus lots with permits and resident and graduate students buy semester parking (northpark.edu). Visitors should allow extra time during university events and open days because campus parking is limited (northpark.edu). The visitor lot at Foster and Kedzie is specifically described for business hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday (northpark.edu), so an appointment or event outside those hours needs a different plan. Surrounding North Park streets can also be restrictive: many streets enforce permit-only parking on weekdays during business hours. Show map of North Park ## Parksy Parking Spaces Near North Park University The closest priced Parksy option is a private 24/7 space 0.9 miles from the campus, available for $10 a week. Its weekly price and round-the-clock access make it a practical choice for a student who needs a regular alternative to a campus permit. At 1.6 miles, two Ravenswood lot spaces at 4501 N. Damen Avenue cost $5 a day, while another parking lot in Chicago costs $9 a day. A secure garage at the same distance costs $5 an hour, making the garage better suited to a short visit than a full day. A 24/7 driveway space in Chicago, IL 60640 is 1.7 miles away and costs $40 a week, which suits longer stays for staff or visitors who prefer weekly parking. ## Other Parking Near the North Park Campus The university lot is separate from nearby public and commercial parking choices. A parking lot at 4501 N. Damen Avenue is 1.6 miles from campus, with two priced spaces listed at $5 a day. Those spaces are in the Ravenswood area and can suit a full-day visit when a permit-based campus space is not appropriate. The hourly garage is suited to visitors making a brief stop, whereas the daily lots fit staff or students staying through the day. A 24/7 driveway space in Chicago, IL 60640 is 1.7 miles away and costs $40 a week. The cited local guidance identifies weekday permit-only restrictions on many surrounding streets, particularly during business hours. ## CTA Access From Francisco to North Park University Francisco is the nearest station to the campus, 0.6 miles away and a 13-minute walk. The station is on the CTA Brown Line, and the university describes the campus as easily accessible from the Brown Line and buses (northpark.edu). This is a useful option for students and employees who do not want to arrange a semester parking permit. Visitors can combine the station with the university’s visitor arrangements, including [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) at the lot on the southeast corner of Foster and Kedzie Avenues during business hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday (northpark.edu).
