About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot 57Y is a dedicated open-air surface parking lot associated with Brigham Young University (BYU), situated at 100 E 700 N in Provo, Utah. Serving the south campus corridor and the vibrant Joaquin neighborhood, this paved lot provides essential designated student parking (\"Y\" permit) and convenient access for visitors outside strict enforcement windows. Because it is a spacious, open-sky lot without overhead clearance barriers or parking deck restrictions, it comfortably accommodates a wide spectrum of passenger vehicles, including standard sedans, compact crossovers, full-sized pickup trucks, high-profile SUVs, and rooftop cargo carriers.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned along the lively 700 North corridor, Lot 57Y sits in one of Provo’s most walkable collegiate districts, making it an exceptional launching point for campus events, student dining, and community gatherings:

Visitor & Driver Tips

Permit enforcement on BYU campus lots is strictly monitored by BYU Parking Services. Standard \"Y\" permit restrictions generally apply on weekdays from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM; drivers should always verify the posted entrance signs for specific hours, holiday exceptions, and overnight parking rules. Outside enforced permit hours and on weekends, parking is frequently open to general vehicles, but always avoid stalls marked as \"A\" (Faculty/Admin), Dean/Official, or ADA without the proper credential to avoid ticketing or immobilization.
