Visitor & Driver Tips

While surface parking in this corridor is generally accessible throughout the day, spaces fill quickly during weekday peak clinic hours between 8:30 AM and 2:00 PM. If you are arriving for a scheduled medical appointment, plan to arrive 15 minutes early to locate a preferred stall. In the event of large weekend gatherings at Cleveland Park or high-profile events at nearby Wofford College, ensure you note posted signage regarding visitor parking permissions and permit requirements.
