About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot 48 is an expansive, open-air surface parking facility situated at 1700 N Canyon Road in Provo, Utah, serving the vibrant northern athletics and campus district of Brigham Young University (BYU). Because it is a completely open surface lot without overhead decks or low ceiling beams, Lot 48 provides unrestricted vertical clearance. This makes it exceptionally accommodating for high-profile vehicles, lifted pickup trucks, full-size passenger vans, and large family SUVs. The layout is cleanly striped with wide drive aisles that ensure smooth two-way vehicular flow and hassle-free maneuvering, whether you are arriving for a university baseball match or accessing adjacent campus facilities.
