If you are unable to find available leased parking on this list, you may try contacting nearby local businesses, churches or restaurants with large parking lots, to see if they are interested in leasing a space.

If you are an owner of a local parking lot with spaces for lease, please contact ECU Parking so you can be added to the list: (252) 328-6294.

The City of Greenville

The City of Greenville and East Carolina University have both adopted similar zoned parking systems, which can be confusing to anyone who is not aware of the distinctive differences.

For more information about parking in the City of Greenville, you can visit their website: Parking in the City of Greenville. If you have questions about whether or not an area is ECU owned, then you can call ECU Parking and Transportation at 328-6294 or email us at parking@ecu.edu
