The campus guidance does not identify a dedicated public car park operator or a standard visitor rate, making nearby reserved spaces a more practical option for drivers who need to park close to 51 Brattle Street. Harvard Transportation says Cambridge and Allston have a limited number of parking spots, with annual permits valid from July 1 to June 30 and issued on a first-come basis (transportation.harvard.edu). The pre-college arrival guide lists [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) at the 52 Oxford Street garage from 9 a.m. to 9 a.m. the following Monday on check-in Sundays (summer.harvard.edu). A separate arrival guide lists free parking at the same garage from 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 20, to 7 a.m. on Sunday (summer.harvard.edu). ## Parksy Spaces Close to Harvard Summer School Two covered options are within walking distance of the campus: a covered valet space at 73 Bennett Street, 272 yd away, costs $14 a day, while covered parking at 45 University Road, 298 yd away, costs $8 a day. The Bennett Street space suits visitors who want a short walk and covered parking, while the University Road option is the lower-priced choice for students or staff attending for a full day. Three spaces are 0.5 mi away: two parking lots in Cambridge cost $2.25 an hour, and a secure private space offers 24/7 access for $6 a day. The hourly lots suit shorter visits, while the daily private space works better for staff or visitors staying through the day. A private parking space near Porter and Harvard Square is 0.8 mi away and costs $150 a month, making it the longer-term option for students or staff who need regular parking. Show map of Cambridge ## Busy Periods and Street Restrictions Around Harvard Square Check-in Sundays create an additional arrival peak for pre-college students, with free garage parking specifically provided for that period (summer.harvard.edu). Harvard Summer School recommends walking, biking, or public transportation instead of bringing vehicles to campus (summer.harvard.edu). The campus sits in Harvard Square, where limited parking availability makes surrounding streets a poor choice for relying on an unreserved space. Visitors attending summer activities, staff arriving for work, and students moving in should plan around the published arrival arrangements rather than expect convenient curb parking. ## Other Car Parks Near the Harvard Campus Harvard Extension School identifies Charles Square Garage at 1 Bennett Street, University Place Garage at 45 University Road, and municipal parking among the paid parking options near campus (extension.harvard.edu). University Place Garage is also represented by a nearby covered Parksy space at 45 University Road, 298 yd from the campus, priced at $8 a day. The 52 Oxford Street garage is the notable free-period option in the summer arrival guidance. Pre-college check-in Sundays allow free parking from 9 a.m. to 9 a.m. the following Monday (summer.harvard.edu), while the adult and college student arrival guide gives free parking from 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 20, to 7 a.m. on Sunday (summer.harvard.edu). These arrangements are tied to specified arrival periods rather than general everyday parking. ## Harvard Station Access From Harvard Summer School Harvard station is the nearest rail stop, 247 yd from Harvard Summer School, with a 3 min walk to campus. The station provides the most direct alternative for students, staff, and visitors who want to avoid the limited parking supply around Harvard Square.
