Directions

Okay, this is for all you out-of-towners. Below is a diagram of the Methodist Dallas Medical Center campus (corner of Colorado Blvd & Beckley Ave), as well as directions for getting to the hospital.

Directions:

From I-30 (DFW Turnpike)

• Go west from downtown and take the Sylvan Avenue exit.
• Take the service road to Sylvan Ave, turn south under the freeway, and go east (toward downtown) on the service road to Beckley Avenue.
• Turn right on Beckley Ave (south) and go to the 2nd stop light (Methodist Medical Center Private Drive, or something like that). Turn right at the stop light and this will take you into visitor parking. Note: If you find yourself at Colorado Blvd, you've gone too far.

From I-35 (R.L. Thornton Freeway)

• Go south out of downtown across the Trinity River, and take the Colorado Boulevard exit.
• Once at Colorado Blvd, turn right and go west for a little over a mile. This will put you at Colorado & Beckley.
• Turn right at Beckley and go north to the 1st stop light you see (Methodist Medical Center, Private Drive), and turn left into the visitor parking lot.

For those of you that will be rolling into town after dark, just look for the hospital's blue lights and the illuminated cross on top.

There, wasn't that easy? Once in the parking lot, just follow the signs to the parking garage. Parking costs around $1.00 an hour.

For extra assistance, here is a Google map for the hospital's address as well as another map of the campus, this one in glorious Technicolor.
