## Parking on the Brown University Campus

A valid parking permit is required at all times in any Brown University parking lot, and Brown says its parking policies are strictly enforced (transportation.brown.edu). The campus parking office is at 69 Brown Street, Fifth Floor, Suite 511 (facilities.brown.edu).

Visitors may use Lot 68 Upper, also called the Power Street Parking Garage, at 111 Power Street (brown.edu). The garage entrance is on Power Street, while Brown’s Family Weekend information describes the facility at the corner of Power and Thayer streets as the largest on campus (familyweekend.brown.edu). Brown also identifies Lot 2 near the Athletic Complex on Hope Street for campus access (familyweekend.brown.edu).

## Other Parking Around Providence’s Campus Area

Brown’s graduate-school parking guidance says nearby rented parking spaces typically cost between $50 and $150 per month (graduateschool.brown.edu).

The official Brown visitor directions point drivers to Lot 68 Upper, so visitors looking beyond campus should compare nearby private spaces with their visit length before heading toward the university. The closest listed alternatives include spaces on Benefit Street, a private space in Providence, a private parking option, and the garage at 41 Stillman Street.

## When Brown Parking Is Hardest to Find

Parking pressure increases during Brown’s Family Weekend, when the university directs visitors toward the Power and Thayer streets garage and identifies Lot 2 near the Athletic Complex on Hope Street (familyweekend.brown.edu). Visitors attending campus events should allow time to reach the garage or an off-campus space rather than relying on a short curbside stop.

Brown states that parking policies are strictly enforced in its lots, and a valid permit is required at all times (transportation.brown.edu). The university’s visitor directions identify the Power Street Parking Garage as the visitor parking location, making surrounding campus streets a poor substitute for permit-controlled lots during busy university activity.

## Parksy Spaces Near Brown University

Two Benefit Street spaces are 0.4 mi from the campus and each costs $200 a month.

A secure 24/7 private space 0.5 mi away costs $100 a month, making it the lower-cost monthly option for a student or staff member. A secure 24/7 private parking space 0.6 mi away costs $38 a day and works better for a short visit. The parking garage at 41 Stillman Street is 0.7 mi away and costs $13 a day, giving visitors a straightforward daily option.

## Walking to Brown From Providence Station

Providence station is the nearest rail station, at 0.8 mi from Brown University and a 16 min walk.

The campus is 0.3 mi from Providence centre, so drivers combining a central parking space with a walk can avoid the permit requirement for Brown lots. For a station-based journey, the 16 min walk from Providence station provides the clearest rail connection listed for the university.
