Campus parking:
Over 1,000 campus parking spaces are available within a four block walk of the Recreation/Athletic Complex. These spaces are located in safe, secure, well lighted, police patrolled parking facilities. It is strongly recommended that persons attending athletic events park in a campus parking lot rather than on a less secure city street.
Parking regulation:
All campus parking is regulated for valid permit or paid meter during hours of parking regulation. Hours of regulation are posted at the entrance of each parking lot.
Hours of regulation:
University Housing parking lots, including lots 4 and 34 near the Rec Complex, are regulated for valid permit 24 hours per day from 9 PM Sunday night thought 1 PM Friday. Persons attending athletic events may park in Lot 4 only on the weekend, from 1 PM Friday through 9 PM Sunday.
Other lots near the Rec Complex are regulated as follows:
- Days: 7 AM - 4 PM, Monday through Friday - Requires display of valid permit or payment of meter
- Evenings: 4 PM - 2 AM, Monday through Thursday - Does not require display of a permit or payment of a meter. Only restricted and reserved parking spaces are regulated.
- Weekends: 4 PM Friday through 2 AM Monday - Does not require display of a permit or payment of a meter. Only restricted and reserved parking spaces are regulated.
- Overnight: 2 AM - 7 AM every day - Parking is prohibited.
Valid parking spaces:
Valid parking spaces are defined as within striped pavement markings in a paved lot and head-in against a parking bumper block/guide rope in an undeveloped lot. Any area not specifically identified as a parking space, per the above, is a prohibited parking zone for any amount of time. Take care to not park in reserved/restricted spaces which are regulated 24 hours every day. Reserved/restricted spaces are signed restricting their use for a specific purpose, e.g. Disabled or Physical Plant.
Event Parking
- Important: Regulation of signed/reserved spaces and any area not specifically designated as a parking space is in effect at all times, including during events. Open parking during events simply waives the requirement of permit display.
