Spring Break Parking will be Heavy in Hermann Park

The Houston Parks and Recreation Department still urges patrons to carpool or ride METRO’s bus system or METRORail, which goes right past Hermann Park. Riders can catch METRORail at the Fannin South Park and Ride lot located at 1604 West Bellfort or park downtown and catch METRORail at any of the downtown rail stations. Riders can disembark at Hermann Park/Rice University Station, at Fannin and Sunset; Memorial Hermann Hospital/Houston Zoo, at North MacGregor and Ross Sterling or the Museum District Station, between Ewing and Binz to access all of Hermann Park’s amenities. Call METROLine at (713) 635-4000 or visit www.ridemetro.org.Park visitors will have expanded parking options, thanks to an agreement with Memorial Hermann Medical Plaza. Hermann Park visitors can now use the parking garage located at 6400 Fannin, next to the Hermann Professional Building, on weekends. The current maximum rate for weekends is $6.00, and weekday rates vary (subject to change by Memorial Hermann Medical Plaza). Visitors have the option of paying by cash or credit card. Otherwise, park visitors will need to be ready for delays and should have contingency plans.
