## Parking at New York State Psychiatric Institute on Riverside Drive

The hospital’s directions point drivers toward a parking garage reached from Washington Avenue, with the hospital address at 1051 Riverside Drive (nyspi.org). A separate official contact page says parking is available on Riverside Drive for free or at the parking lot near the entrance (nyspi.org). The Riverside Drive entrance itself has no accommodation for automobiles to park (nyspi.org).

For appointments, the Riverside Drive option is the most direct place to look before walking into the building. The official directions also identify the medical center lot at 165th Street and Fort Washington Avenue as a parking choice, followed by a walk along 165th Street to Riverside Drive (nyspi.org).

## Arriving for Appointments and Urgent Visits Near 1051 Riverside Drive

The main destination is 1051 Riverside Drive in Manhattan, near Washington Heights. Official directions describe access from the medical center lot at 165th Street and Fort Washington Avenue, with the route continuing down 165th Street to Riverside Drive (nyspi.org). This is useful for planned visits when a driver needs to leave a passenger close to the hospital before parking farther away.

The official directions also refer to the Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital parking garage at 165th Street and Fort Washington Avenue and an entrance at 40 Haven Avenue (brainstimulation.columbia.edu). Drivers bringing someone for care should use the medical-center approach rather than treating the Riverside Drive entrance as a parking bay. The cited pages do not publish emergency-department access instructions, peak visiting periods, or a designated drop-off zone.

## Riverside Drive and Manhattan Street-Parking Considerations

Official hospital information identifies Riverside Drive as a [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) option and also points drivers to a nearby parking lot (nyspi.org). The same official contact page makes clear that automobiles cannot park at the Riverside Drive entrance itself (nyspi.org).

The cited hospital directions route drivers toward the parking garage from Washington Avenue and identify the medical center lot at 165th Street and Fort Washington Avenue (nyspi.org). Those directions provide the clearest formal parking locations around the site.
