PARKING:
You will need to obtain a Parking Permit if you are in a NON-STATE VEHICLE on a WEEKDAY. State vehicles and buses do not need parking permits. Also, parking permits are NOT required on weekends. You are requested to park in the Hopkins Parking Garage which is located just south of RIMAC Arena (labeled “B” on the map included above).
Vehicles over 7’2” will need to find parking alongside the arena, as the Hopkins parking structure will not be able to accommodate oversized vehicles. If you have specific questions concerning team parking once you have arrived on campus, please contact the UCSD coaching staff. If you have any questions or concerns prior to the day of your event, please feel free to contact our office front desk at (858) 534-4211.
VISITOR PARKING TIPS:
It is suggested that visitors arrive early in order to find parking in the Hopkins parking structure. While traveling south on John J Hopkins Drive (as indicated on the map above). We suggest that visitors bypass this first entrance and go RIGHT on Voigt Drive, bringing them to the top entrance along the south side of the structure. From anywhere in the Hopkins parking structure, guests will be able to find the parking pay stations (near the entrances and elevators). It is recommended that your visitors purchase a Visitor Permit. These V permits are available at pay stations in the parking structures (usually near each entrance and the elevators) or at the visitor information kiosk at the North Point Drive entrance. (See below for specific information about the North Point Drive visitor kiosk). V permits cost $1 per 45 minutes, up to $8 for a full day. You can park in any V, B or S spot for the amount of time you have purchased.
Directions to the RIMAC Field from inside the parking structure are listed below:
-Take the elevator or stairs to the top floor (7th) of the parking structure (to access RIMAC Arena and RIMAC Field)
-Upon exiting the elevator, use the bridge to direct you towards Ridge Walk (as indicated on the map above), and go RIGHT
-This will bring you to RIMAC (on the right hand side)
-Continue on Ridge Walk about 300 yards past the RIMAC Annex Softball Stadium (currently under construction), Triton Soccer Stadium and back to North Point Drive.
