The University of Wisconsin-Parkside offers parking close to major academic, athletic, and community buildings, a unique feature not found on many urban campuses.
There are inexpensive options for our visitors as well as convenient permits available for commuter and resident students, faculty, and staff. Parking is free for most special events such as the Noon Concert Series, Foreign Films, Science Night, and, of course, for all NCAA Division II athletics. Convenient drop-off areas are located close to main entrances at the Student Center, the Rita Tallent Picken Regional Center for Arts and Humanities, and the Sports & Activity Center.
The Parkside shuttle operates during the academic year from lots near Tallent Hall on the east side of Wood Road to the Student Center main entrance. The shuttle schedule link is available online.
Most lots have two-hour metered spaces for visitors as well as accessible parking. Daily passes are available for longer visits.
Permits are available at the UW-Parkside Police and Public Safety office, room 188 in Tallent Hall. Complete parking regulations are available online. Please call the UW-Parkside Police and Public Safety office at 262-595-2455 with any questions.

THEATRE: Peter and the Starcatcher
Tony-winning Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a. Peter Pan). A wildly theatrical adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s best-selling novels, the play was conceived for the stage by directors Roger Rees and Alex Timbers, and written by Rick Elice with music by Wayne Barker. From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair... and the bonds of friendship, duty, and love.
