Parking

To ease your travel around Brown, the University has made additional parking spaces available on campus. You may leave your car in the upper Power Street lot any time. Parking is free from Friday at 5:00 pm through the weekend. This lot is located at the corner of Power and Thayer streets. Additional parking is also available in the local community.

Remember to lock your car, whether it is on the street or in a lot. Please observe the city’s parking laws and emergency “no parking” signs. Any car parked in a temporary emergency/ no parking tow zone, in marked handicapped spaces without a placard, in violation of a fire hydrant, blocking a driveway or obstructing Brown police or Providence police sawhorses will be towed at the owner’s expense.
