About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot 60 is an expansive open-air surface parking facility located at 143 Clove Road in Little Falls Township, New Jersey, situated within the northern quadrant of the Montclair State University (MSU) campus. Because this is a ground-level, uncovered asphalt lot, it features completely unrestricted vertical clearance, making it an exceptional parking option not only for standard sedans, compacts, and crossovers, but also for full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, and high-roof conversion vans that cannot navigate low-ceiling parking decks. The lot is cleanly paved, clearly striped, and laid out with wide driving aisles that facilitate smooth vehicle maneuvering and parking spot access.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Visitors should look for posted regulatory signs at the entrance and within the aisles to verify permit designations and mobile payment zone codes (usually administered through the ParkMobile app). If visiting for high-profile university events, commencements, or athletic games, plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes early to ensure easy parking and account for walking or campus shuttle transit times to your ultimate destination.
