## Parking at the Meadows Parking Center on Bishop Boulevard

The nearest recommended facility is the Meadows Parking Center at 5900 Bishop Boulevard, beside the museum in University Park near Lower Greenville. SMU identifies the center as the parking facility for this address and directs drivers from the Bishop Boulevard campus entrance off Mockingbird Lane to proceed north 300 feet (smu.edu).

Parking is free for museum visitors, according to the Meadows Museum’s general information page (meadowsmuseumdallas.org). The museum’s published visitor hours are Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., with Thursday opening until 9:00 p.m.; Monday is closed (meadowsmuseumdallas.org). From Central Expressway, exit Mockingbird Lane at exit #3, turn west, and continue two blocks, with the stadium on the right (meadowsmuseumdallas.org).

## Mockingbird Lane Approach and Campus Parking Rules

Drivers approaching the site from Central Expressway should use Mockingbird Lane, then reach Bishop Boulevard at the SMU campus entrance. The museum’s visitor instructions place the route two blocks west of the freeway exit, making this the practical approach for drivers unfamiliar with the University Park campus (meadowsmuseumdallas.org).

Campus parking rules distinguish visitor use from permit-controlled areas. The published SMU parking map marks some areas “SMU Permit Required” and states that visitor spaces are not for general parking (meadowsmuseumdallas.org). The same map prohibits resident or overnight parking in the Meadows Parking Center from midnight to 7:00 a.m. (meadowsmuseumdallas.org). Those restrictions matter most during late Thursday visits and evening campus activity, when a space in the correct visitor area is more useful than an apparently open permit bay.

## Parksy Parking Lots and Garages Within 1.9 Miles

Parksy lists four paid options one mile from the site. These are useful alternatives when you prefer a reserved off-campus space to navigating the SMU campus.

Two farther Parksy parking lots are also listed: one is 1.8 miles away at $3 a day, while the other is 1.9 miles away at $3 a day. The lower daily rates can suit a longer visit, although both locations require a longer onward trip than the one-mile lots and garages.

## Other Named Parking Facilities Around SMU

SMU’s wider parking information also names the Meadows Parking Center at 5900 Bishop Boulevard and places it north of the Bishop Boulevard campus entrance from Mockingbird Lane (smu.edu). The facility is the clearest named campus option for visitors using the museum address, rather than a general street space around Lower Greenville.

The Meadows School of the Arts gives a separate entry instruction for the Meadows Parking Center: enter campus from Mockingbird Lane onto Bishop Boulevard, then turn right, using the left entrance for [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) (smu.edu). The museum’s own visitor information likewise states that parking is free for museum visitors (meadowsmuseumdallas.org). These instructions identify the campus center as the main free alternative to paid off-campus parking.

## Walking and Rail Access Near University Park

The address is 1.7 miles from Lower Greenville center, so walking from the neighborhood is a substantial approach rather than a short final leg. The site sits on Bishop Boulevard in University Park, near Lower Greenville, with the named parking center at the museum address.

No rail station walking time is provided for this location. For a visit centered on the museum, driving directly to the Bishop Boulevard campus entrance is the most clearly specified access arrangement in the published local instructions, while the free Meadows Parking Center provides the named parking destination.
