Facility Overview
Lot 10X, located near the intersection of various transit routes in Urbana, Illinois, serves as a functional open-air surface parking facility. Given its outdoor design, the lot is highly versatile and accommodates a wide range of vehicle types including standard passenger cars, large pickup trucks, and full-size SUVs.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a smooth experience, we recommend using a reliable GPS service to navigate to the exact entrance as street layouts in the district can be nuanced. If you are planning to park during large campus events, arriving at least 45 minutes prior to the start of the event is advised to avoid peak traffic congestion. Always check local signage for any specific regulations or holiday parking adjustments, and ensure all payment methods are ready prior to entry to expedite your parking process.
