About this Location

Overview & Suitability

The Town Point Economy Lot is a spacious, open-air surface parking facility situated at Kennesaw State University (KSU) in Kennesaw, Georgia. Primarily designated as an "economy" option for university commuter students and faculty, this lot is perfectly suited for daily university commuting, campus visits, and major university events. Standard passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks can easily park here. It is a permit-controlled zone during regular university hours but also serves as public event parking during athletic games and graduation ceremonies.

Access, Dimensions & Clearance

Located at 3391 Town Point Drive NW, this open-air parking lot has no overhead height restrictions, making it an excellent choice for taller vehicles, trucks, and vans. The lot features wide drive lanes and a straightforward layout that ensures stress-free navigation. Access is convenient via Town Point Road NW and Chastain Road, avoiding the heavily congested central campus roads during peak hours.

Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking

Parking rates are structured based on university affiliation and events:

Permit Parking: KSU commuter students can purchase a Town Point Economy permit for $90 per semester ($180 for the full academic year). Faculty and staff permits are available for $10 per month.
Flex Parking: Any student or employee with a valid KSU parking permit can park here for free during Flex hours: Monday through Thursday from 5:00 PM to 7:00 AM, and from Friday at 5:00 PM through Monday at 7:00 AM.
Visitor & Event Parking: For non-permit holders, visitor parking on campus is generally $3.00 per hour, with a maximum daily rate of $12.00. Payment is easily processed via the ParkMobile app or nearby physical pay stations using credit/debit cards.
Gameday Parking: On KSU football gamedays, this area is designated as the Purple Lot. Parking is available for $25.00 (credit card only, paid in person on arrival).

Security & Amenities

The Town Point Economy Lot is actively monitored and patrolled by the Kennesaw State University Police Department, ensuring a secure environment for your vehicle. The lot is fully paved, well-lit for nighttime safety, and operates under a virtual permit system using advanced License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology. Be sure to park with your license plate facing the drive lane. A major convenience of this lot is its direct connection to the Big Owl Bus, KSU's free shuttle service, which quickly transports parkers to the main campus areas and academic halls.

Strategic Alternative

This facility acts as an exceptional alternative parking hub during peak campus hours and major events. When central parking decks like the Central or East decks are congested or reserved for graduation ceremonies, the Town Point Economy Lot offers a reliable, low-traffic choice. Furthermore, it is a key off-site parking location for sporting events at Fifth Third Bank Stadium and Stillwell Stadium, with the Big Owl Bus offering a dedicated Game Day Route to transfer fans directly to the stadium gates.
