About this Location

Facility Overview

The LAZ Parking - Downtown Burton Street Garage, located at 149 Burton Street in Auburn, Alabama, is a modern multi-level parking deck designed to serve visitors, university patrons, and downtown shoppers. Positioned directly in the energetic urban core of Auburn, this covered parking structure provides clean, weather-protected vehicle spaces spread across multiple structured tiers. The facility comfortably accommodates standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, minivans, and full-size SUVs. Standard full-size pickup trucks fit securely within standard stalls, though drivers should observe posted vertical clearance limits (typically 7 feet / 2.13 meters) and avoid oversized commercial vehicles or high-roof camper vans beyond the entrance height thresholds.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During Auburn home football game weekends and commencement ceremonies, downtown parking decks fill rapidly; arriving early in the morning or reserving through compatible digital applications is strongly recommended. Keep your license plate number handy when paying at walk-up kiosks or starting a session through mobile payment apps. Always check posted rate schedules at the gate, as special event tariffs may supersede standard hourly deck pricing during peak athletic schedules.
