Facility Overview
Lot 60 at Brigham Young University (BYU) is an expansive, open-air surface parking facility situated along North Canyon Road in Provo, Utah. Strategically located within the university\'s north athletic and student residential corridor, this lot serves as a vital transportation node for university students, faculty, and thousands of sports fans during major collegiate athletic events. Because it is an outdoor, uncovered surface parking lot, Lot 60 features unobstructed vertical clearance, making it fully capable of accommodating full-sized pickup trucks, large passenger SUVs, and high-roof vans without height restriction concerns.
The facility is laid out with marked asphalt stalls, standard vehicular drive aisles, and directional signage. Pedestrian paths and crosswalks link the facility directly to nearby campus structures, athletic complexes, and student housing developments.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Lot 60 boasts exceptional proximity to major university sports landmarks and local entertainment venues:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress to Lot 60 are primarily routed through North Canyon Road (200 East corridor) and nearby University Parkway (Utah State Route 265). University Parkway provides direct, multilane access west toward Interstate 15 (Exit 269) and east into Provo Canyon (US-189). During high-profile football games and university events, local traffic officers actively manage traffic flow to expedite vehicle departure onto Canyon Road and 2230 North.
Public transportation riders benefit from the nearby Utah Transit Authority (UTA) bus stops along University Parkway and Canyon Road, as well as the UVX (Utah Valley Express) bus rapid transit line, which offers frequent, high-capacity zero-fare connections connecting BYU campus with the Provo and Orem FrontRunner commuter rail stations.
