Facility Overview
The Target Parking Lot in Provo, UT provides expansive, well-maintained surface parking serving one of the area\'s premier retail destinations. Situated in the vibrant north Provo commercial corridor near the Brigham Young University (BYU) community, this expansive outdoor lot is laid out with broad two-way drive aisles, clear striping, and dedicated pedestrian pathways leading directly to the store entrance. Because it is a completely open-air lot with no overhead barriers or height restrictions, the facility accommodates vehicles of all sizes—ranging from compact passenger cars and electric sedans to full-size pickup trucks, commercial vans, and family SUVs equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers.

Drivers making use of contactless curbside pickup should follow the painted directional arrows directly to the designated red-numbered Drive Up bays for the fastest service.
