About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot 52 is an open-air surface parking facility situated on North Wymount Terrace Drive in Provo, Utah, directly serving the Wymount Terrace community on the northeastern quadrant of the Brigham Young University (BYU) campus. Positioned amid scenic views of the Wasatch Mountain Range and Rock Canyon, the facility features an expansive layout primarily designed to accommodate university residents, staff, and campus visitors. Because it is a level, outdoor ground lot, there are no overhead clearance barriers, making it an excellent parking choice for standard passenger vehicles, minivans, full-size pickup trucks, and high-profile SUVs alike.
