About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot 39 is a dedicated outdoor surface parking facility situated along Dempsey Trail in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Positioned on the southern edge of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh (UW Oshkosh) athletics footprint, this expansive open-air parking lot primarily serves visitors, spectators, and athletes attending events at the premier Oshkosh Sports Complex. With standard stall configurations and wide driving aisles, the lot accommodates a broad range of passenger vehicles, from compact sedans and crossover SUVs to full-size pickup trucks and high-profile passenger vans.
