Facility Overview
1 John Fenwick Ln Parking serves the prominent travel plaza and service complex located off the New Jersey Turnpike in Pedricktown, within Oldmans Township, Salem County. Operating primarily as the rest and travel hub for southbound Turnpike travelers and regional logistics traffic just north of the Delaware Memorial Bridge, this expansive open-air surface facility is engineered to support a diverse mix of motor vehicles. Because it is an open-format surface lot with no overhead barriers or height restrictions across general parking bays, the facility accommodates standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, commercial vans, work pickup trucks, tour buses, and recreational vehicles with ease.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Strategically situated along the vital mid-Atlantic interstate corridor, this parking location serves as a critical gateway stop for drivers traveling between the New York / Philadelphia metropolitan areas and points south into Delaware, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. Within a short driving radius, visitors can reach historic Salem County attractions including the Cowtown Rodeo and Farmers Market in nearby Pilesgrove (10 miles), the Delaware River waterfront, Fort Mott State Park, and Supawna Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. It also provides a practical staging point for visitors heading across the Delaware Memorial Bridge into Wilmington, Delaware, located less than 15 minutes away.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are seamlessly integrated directly from the southbound lanes of the New Jersey Turnpike (Milepost 5.4), with rear utility and service road connections via John Fenwick Lane and local Pedricktown thoroughfares (such as Perkintown Road and Route 130). Traffic flow within the facility is divided into dedicated channels separating light passenger cars from commercial semi-trucks and motorcoaches to ensure safe circulation. Direct arterial access connects motorists promptly to Interstate 295, U.S. Route 40, and U.S. Route 130, enabling fast, hassle-free navigation throughout the tri-state area.
