Traffic Advisory
Hermann Park generally experiences heavy traffic during warm weather holidays. Hermann Park Conservancy and the Houston Parks and Recreation Department urge patrons to carpool or ride METRO’s bus system or METRORail to Hermann Park.

METRORail Information
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 have three stops to choose from once they arrive at Hermann Park:

• Hermann Park/Rice University Station, at Fannin and Sunset
•  Memorial Hermann Hospital/Houston Zoo Station, at Cambridge and Ross Sterling
• Museum District Station, between Ewing and Binz

Visit www.ridemetro.org for more information.

Parking in the Park
If you feel your car is a necessity, be prepared to wait, because Hermann Park has limited parking. Park visitors will need to be ready for delays and should have contingency plans. Park patrons are also advised to:

• Be aware that it is no longer possible to turn left into Hermann Park from Cambridge and Fannin. Pay attention to the “No Left Turn” signs posted along the light rail track.
• Be aware that Hermann Park Drive will only allow one-way traffic southbound from the Sam Houston Monument to Cambridge Street.
• Know that HPD’s Mobile Response Team (MRT), METRO Police and Urban Park Rangers will direct traffic at all intersections on Cambridge Street, Caroline Street, Fannin Street, and Hermann Park Drive.

Avoid the Crush! Additional Parking Option
The Park's free public parking lots can fill quickly. To beat traffic jams and parking challenges within the Park, visitors may park across the street in the Memorial Hermann Medical Plaza Parking Garage at the corner of Cambridge and Fannin on weekends for a flat rate of $6 per day (subject to change by Memorial Hermann Medical Plaza).

Houston TranStar will coordinate freeway changeable-message signs on SH 288 to communicate traffic information to motorists. Portable message signs will also be placed around the park to provide additional information to park visitors. Check traffic conditions before venturing out to the park. Information is available at www.houstontranstar.org.
