The Kwik Park lot (formerly managed by Kinney and PF) is located on the west side of the street of Eastchester Road at the intersection for Stillwell Avenue; it is one block north of Morris Park Avenue.. If traveling from Pelham Parkway, turn south onto Eastchester Road and then right at the second set of traffic lights into the parking garage. The lot is open between 6:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. The maximum charge for the day is $10.00. Please note: When using the Kwik Park lot, you will not have access to your car after 8:00 p.m. (Call 718.430.7021 for additional information.)
The 24-hour parking lot by Weiler Hospital is located on Sackett Avenue; take the right fork where Sackett intersects with Eastchester Road, just after the Morris Park Avenue intersection (across from the car wash), when heading south. The lot is opposite Weiler Hospital, just a short walk to Einstein's Belfer building. To view the location of each parking lot, see the campus map.
**Street parking may be available as well.
