Where should I park?
Metered street parking is available on 4th Avenue and 3rd Avenue SW; street parking is free on weekends and after 5:00 pm on weekdays.
Mayo Clinic’s Damon Parking Ramp, located on the block immediately north of Calvary, also offers free parking until July 26 on weekends and after 5:00 pm on weekends. After this date, the ramp will be closed and demolished.
Beginning on Sunday, July 27, Calvary has a choice of several nearby parking ramps to use on the weekend:
- Franklin Lot is on the corner of 2nd Street and Discovery Walk.
- Mayo Lot 6 is behind the Hilton/Guggenheim Buildings, at the corner of 3rd Avenue and 3rd Street, and is accessible by turning right onto 3rd Street. This lot is valet parking during the week but open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays.
- Mayo Lot 3, which is directly west of the Kellen Building, on the corner of 3rd Street and 5th Avenue, is accessible by turning right on 3rd Street. This lot is valet parking during the week but open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays.
- Baldwin Ramp: Enter through the ticket gate, take a ticket, go down the ramp, and then back up again to the street level. When you leave, the arm at the exit will be up. We are asked to park only on the street level, as the building is closed. In a few weeks, the Baldwin parking arrangements may change as construction will begin on that ramp, but all arrangements will be communicated as we find out anything new or different.
- You can find a map of these lots here.
All ramps are within easy walking distance to Calvary, but since many intersections are crowded with fencing and construction signs, be very mindful of drivers who may be confused.
There is a drop-off area at the west (4th Avenue) doors with a handicap-accessible entrance.
NOTE: Calvary is in the midst of major construction projects on nearly every side; for the most up-to-date information on road closures and re-routes, click here.
