Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking at Willamette University Parking permits are required for vehicles in Willamette University parking lots, while motorcycles are exempt, on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. year-round (my.willamette.edu). Visitors can purchase a one-day parking permit for campus parking (willamette.edu). Kaneko South has reserved parking only in the paved Kaneko parking lot, while standard parking is limited to the gravel lot south of the softball field (my.willamette.edu). For guests without a campus permit, metered and unmetered city parking is available near the campus on Winter, State and Cottage streets (willamette.edu). ## When Willamette Parking Fills Up The weekday permit requirement runs year-round from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., so daytime demand is strongest during regular teaching and working hours (my.willamette.edu). Limited city street parking on Winter, State and Cottage streets gives drivers nearby alternatives, but those spaces are not a substitute for a campus permit in the university lots (willamette.edu). Commencement creates a separate demand spike around the campus and the State Capitol. Street parking around the perimeter is available at an hourly rate during commencement, with DMV-issued handicapped parking available for eligible guests (willamette.edu). Admissions visits also direct drivers toward nearby metered and unmetered city parking on Winter, State and Cottage streets (willamette.edu). Show map of Salem ## Other Parking Near the Salem Campus Nearby city parking is available on Winter, State and Cottage streets, with both metered and unmetered spaces identified for campus visitors (willamette.edu). Those streets are useful when a one-day campus permit is not the right fit, particularly for a short admissions visit or a city-side stop. Street parking around the perimeter of the campus and the State Capitol is available at an hourly rate for commencement guests (willamette.edu). This provides an event-day alternative to the university lots, while the campus map specifically describes city street parking on Winter, State and Cottage streets as limited (willamette.edu). ## Parksy Parking Spaces Near Willamette The closest listed Parksy space is a parking lot in Salem, 288 yd from the campus.
