Facility Overview
The UPMC Harrisburg South Parking Garage, frequently referred to as the Brady Visitor Parking Garage, is a primary multi-level covered parking structure serving the UPMC Harrisburg hospital campus. Located at 111-199 Mary St, Harrisburg, PA 17104, this facility is strategically integrated into the hospital district to provide convenient access for patients and their visitors. The structure is a standard multi-level parking deck designed for passenger vehicles. While it accommodates most standard sedans, SUVs, and minivans, drivers of oversized vehicles such as lifted pickup trucks, high-roof vans, or those with roof-mounted equipment should exercise caution due to typical parking garage headroom limitations, which generally follow standard building codes (approximately 7 feet).
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This garage is situated in the heart of the UPMC Harrisburg medical complex, making it the most logical parking choice for those visiting the hospital, the Brady Building, or nearby medical offices. Its location in downtown Harrisburg places it within a short drive of major regional attractions, including the Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex, the Harrisburg riverfront, and various dining and business hubs. For those visiting the hospital for appointments or to see loved ones, this garage offers direct or near-direct access to the main care facilities.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Access to the garage is primarily via Mary Street. The facility is designed to handle consistent hospital traffic. During peak weekday hours, hospital entrances and nearby streets can be busy; visitors are encouraged to allow extra time for parking. The garage is well-positioned for those arriving via major local arteries, with proximity to the I-83 and I-283 corridors. While the facility itself does not function as a transit hub, local bus services operate throughout the Harrisburg downtown area, providing connectivity to the broader region.
