Parking

Unfortunately, we have a limited amount of parking available and encourage carpooling and/or public transportation whenever possible. Our campus is located in a concentrated downtown neighborhood and we are doing all we can to provide easy parking for our volunteers, visitors and staff. Please help us out by closely following the instructions below.

  • Higher Ground St. Paul lot – We have a small lot next to our building. There are four spots reserved for volunteers from 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. on a first come, first serve basis. If these spots are filled, please make your way to one of the other options listed below. If you are arriving after 6 p.m. to volunteer, you may park in an available non volunteer spot.
  • Street Parking – pay stations are located on every street.
  • Smith Avenue Ramp (145 Smith Ave N St. Paul 55102) – accessed from Smith Avenue.
  • Municipal Ramp 7A (13 West Exchange Street St. Paul 55101) – accessed only from Exchange Street.
  • Thank you for your commitment and patience with our parking situation.
