Facility Overview
The Jerome-Gun Hill Road Municipal Parking Garage is a dedicated multi-level parking facility situated at 3510 Jerome Avenue in the Norwood/Woodlawn border neighborhood of the Bronx. Managed under the oversight of the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT), this municipal garage delivers clean, orderly, and highly economical off-street parking in an area known for intense street-parking competition. The parking structure is designed to accommodate standard passenger cars, minivans, crossovers, and compact-to-midsize SUVs. Drivers operating full-size pickups, lifted 4x4s, or commercial high-roof vans should note that standard urban multi-level vertical clearances apply (approximately 6 feet 8 inches), meaning oversized roof racks and tall commercial vehicles must seek open-air alternatives nearby.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Strategically positioned just north of the busy Jerome Avenue and East Gun Hill Road intersection, this facility functions as an essential vehicle anchor for major medical, recreational, and cultural destinations:
- Montefiore Medical Center (Moses Campus & Children\'s Hospital at Montefiore): Located just a 5 to 7-minute walk south down Gun Hill Road and Bainbridge Avenue, making this garage a preferred, budget-friendly parking option for healthcare workers, outpatients, and visiting families.
- Van Cortlandt Park & Golf Course: Spanning over one thousand acres of athletic fields, equestrian trails, and scenic cross-country courses, the park’s eastern edge is accessible within a 10-minute stroll or short transit hop.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Entering and exiting the garage is straightforward via Jerome Avenue, positioned between East 212th Street and Gun Hill Road. The garage provides efficient ingress lanes that keep queueing off the main thoroughfare. For regional travel, drivers enjoy rapid access to the Major Deegan Expressway (I-87), the Bronx River Parkway, and the Mosholu Parkway, enabling streamlined connections to Westchester County, Upper Manhattan, and Queens. Public transit connections are exceptional: the Mosholu Parkway subway station (4 Train) is roughly a 6-minute walk south, while the Woodlawn subway terminal (4 Train) is an 8-minute walk north along Jerome Avenue, allowing motorists to park and commute directly into Midtown Manhattan. Multiple MTA bus routes, including the Bx1, Bx2, Bx10, Bx28, Bx34, and Bx38, stop within steps of the entrance.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because the garage serves one of the Bronx\'s busiest hospital clusters, stalls on the lower levels fill quickly between 8:30 AM and 1:30 PM on weekdays; arriving before mid-morning ensures the easiest spot selection. Take note of your exact deck level and pillar letter when heading to appointments, as multi-level layouts look identical across tiers. Note that operating hours typically run Monday through Saturday with daytime to late-evening access, but the garage is closed on Sundays—drivers planning multi-day stays should verify that their departure matches the staffed gate schedule.
