Parking at FUMP

Parking in downtown Austin can be a challenge!  We happily share our parking lot with our parents.  Here are photos of our parking lot with helpful hints for parents.  Please feel free to share this link with nannies, sitters and grandparents too!

Please note that there is metered parking on the north, east and south sides of FUMP.

Have you considered using Austin’s METRORAPID transit option? It stops at our block, is free for UT, ACC and City of Austin employees and saves you from parking at all!  Check out our METRORAPID page for more information

*****Children should NEVER be left unattended in cars in the parking lot!***** Ask a FUMP parent to stay with your children, in the event you need to enter the building.  Leaving children unattended in vehicles is unsafe and considered child endangerment.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Below are photos of our parking lot with descriptions of where available spots are located. Also, please be speedy during arrival and departure.  This helps free up spaces in our lot.

FUMP Teacher Spaces.  You are encouraged to double park behind these spaces during drop off and pick up.  If you choose to pull into a teacher space (marked “Preschool 8-2), you run the risk of being blocked in by a parent who is opting to double park. If you are blocked in, please plan to patiently wait until the parent arrives.

Church Staff Parking Spaces. You may park in these spots as they are available.

Trial Lawyers Parking.  These are the first five spaces on the right when you enter our parking lot. DO NOT double park behind these spaces.

Please DO NOT block the entrance to the lot from Colorado Street!  Please keep driving through, rather than wait for a space.  This prevents cars from backing up along Colorado Street.

A Parking “Do”. Parking in front of the AC unit is just fine.

A Parking “Do”.  You are always welcome to park behind our staff (away from the trial lawyers spaces, that is.)

Thank you for your cooperation!
