Point Park University does not have a university parking facility, so drivers are responsible for paying their own parking fees (pointpark.edu).

The university says several nearby garages offer discount rates after 4:00 p.m. and all day Saturday, usually $6 (pointpark.edu).

Wood-Allies Garage is the clearest council-linked option near the campus, because the Pittsburgh Parking Authority operates the facility and places its entrance across the street from Point Park University (pittsburghparking.com).
