Attention Volunteers:
Effective: 07/31/25
We will no longer be able to support the two Reserved Parking Spaces for volunteers in the lower parking lot (aka. "the bus turnaround loop"). This is a result of a policy change in Parking Services.
Daily parking permits are required for visitors parking at the Meadows Center, including on weekends. Visitor parking permits are available for $3 per day through Texas State University’s Pay-by-App system.
To purchase a permit:
- Download the AMP Park app from the App Store or Google Play, or visit aimsmobilepay.com.
- Select R30 – Meadows Center as your parking location.
- Enter your license plate and vehicle information.
- Add your payment information.
- Press Purchase to activate your permit.
Your permit is virtual and tied to your license plate. No paper permit is required.
Those with Texas State University parking permits may park here without a visitor permit. The back parking lot (bus loop) is open to all Texas State University parking permit holders.
Parking regulations are enforced by Texas State University Parking Services.
