Facility Overview

The High Avenue Parking Ramp is the primary multi-level structured parking facility serving the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh (UW Oshkosh) campus and the surrounding central Oshkosh community. Positioned directly along High Avenue between Osceola Street and Woodland Avenue, this multi-deck covered garage provides extensive sheltered vehicle capacity designed to handle high volumes of students, faculty, university staff, event attendees, and city visitors. The garage features wide travel aisles, clear unidirectional and bidirectional lane markings, well-lit pedestrian stairwells, and modern elevator access connecting all levels. Standard passenger cars, crossovers, minivans, and mid-to-full-size pickup trucks can navigate the facility comfortably. Drivers of oversized vehicles, commercial conversion vans, lifted trucks, or roof-mounted cargo boxes should remain mindful of standard parking ramp clearance limits (posted at approximately 7 feet 0 inches at vehicle entry portals).

Visitor & Driver Tips

When visiting during peak academic semesters (mid-morning through early afternoon, Monday through Thursday), lower levels fill quickly; head directly to the middle or upper tiers for open stalls. University parking rules are strictly enforced on weekdays; always verify posted zone regulations, permit requirements, and pay promptly upon arrival using the mobile parking app or on-site pay stations. During severe winter weather, upper open-air rooftop levels may experience accumulation before plowing, making lower covered decks the preferred choice for winter commuters.
