Getting to Us - Parking & Transit

Central Philadelphia Meeting is located in Center City not far from Love Park, City Hall, and Suburban Station.

Our address: 1501 Cherry Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102.


Instructions and a parking permit sign

  • Download a sign to put on your dashboard where the parking enforcement officer will see it (brightly colored paper is best).  This allows you to park for free in metered spaces.
  • You can also pick up a dashboard sign at the greeter's table at the entrance and on the literature rack in the main hallway; this has a map and instructions about where you can park on the back.
  • The sign does not override restrictions on signs like "Handicap" parking.
  • The sign is the same every Sunday, so you can keep it and use it again.

Where to park with a dashboard permit

  • North side of Cherry Street between 15th and the CPMM driveway.
  • South side of Race Street between 15th & Mole Streets AND south side between 15th St & Carlisle St.
  • West side of 15th Street between Race & Cherry Streets.
  • 16th Street: East and West sides between Race & Cherry Streets

 

Validated Parking

  • Sometimes the spaces covered by the parking permit are full when you arrive.  In this case, Parkway parking lot across 15th Street from the Friends Center (between Race & Cherry Streets) offers a reduced price with the validation sticker that you can pick up in the lobby at CPMM.
