Stop circling the lot.
Built around one simple idea: the people already on campus know how full it is. SharkPark just makes that information available to everyone — anonymously.
Live lot occupancy
See how full each parking lot is right now, updated by other people driving in and out.
Hourly & weekly forecasts
Know what each lot will look like in the next hour, the next day, or next week — so you can plan ahead.
Recommended lots
We suggest the best lot for you based on where you’re headed, what time it is, and how full nearby lots are.
Favorite lots & alerts
Pin the lots you actually use. Get notified when one you care about is filling up — or opening back up.
Events near campus
Game day, concert, big lecture? See nearby events that are about to make parking harder, before you head out.
Live shuttle feed
See where the campus shuttles are right now, so you can time your walk from the lot to your building.
Privacy by default
We never track where you’ve been. Parking data is never linked back to you personally.
How it works
A community of commuters helping each other find a spot.
- Step 1
Install the app
Download SharkPark on iOS or Android. Sign in or continue as a guest — no setup needed.
- Step 2
Drive like normal
When you enter or leave a parking lot, your phone sends a quick anonymous ping. We never see where you drove.
- Step 3
Everyone gets better data
Those pings add up into a live picture of how full each lot is — so the next person can skip the full ones.
- Step 4
Check before you leave
Wherever you are, open the app, see which lots are open right now, and pick the most convenient one.
Privacy is the product.
We can't build a useful crowdsourced parking app if people don't trust it. So we don't collect what we don't need.
Read our Privacy Policy →- We don’t track where you go. We only know that a device entered or left a parking lot — never who, and never the route.
- Anonymous by design. Parking data is never linked back to you personally. Not by us, not by anyone we share data with.
- No selling, no advertising. Your data isn’t shared with marketers, brokers, or ad networks. Ever.
- Delete anytime. Wipe your account from inside the app, or by emailing security@sharkpark.app.
Skip the full lot.
Install SharkPark and check parking before you leave. No account needed to look around.
