Situated in west Orem, the parking facility at 950 N 1200 W offers straightforward, accessible vehicle parking for visitors to this thriving Utah County commercial corridor. The lot is designed as a level, open-air surface parking facility featuring broad driving aisles and traditional standard-width parking bays. Because this is an open-sky ground lot with no overhead barriers or low ceilings, it presents no vertical height clearance restrictions, making it exceptionally well-suited for high-profile vehicles including full-sized pickup trucks, tall cargo vans, utility vans, roof-rack-equipped SUVs, and crossovers.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Drivers heading to the lot from I-15 should take Exit 272 (800 North), head west, and turn north onto 1200 West for the quickest and most direct approach. While the open layout makes parking intuitive, always ensure your vehicle is locked and valuables are stowed out of sight. During winter months, exercise caution during heavy snowfall, as snow accumulation can obscure painted stall markers until lots are cleared.
