Facility Overview
The 122-156 W Cleveland St parking facility is an open-air surface lot conveniently situated on West Cleveland Street in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Located just north of downtown Spartanburg and directly adjacent to the historic Wofford College campus and the Northside neighborhood, this parking area offers simple ground-level access. Because it is an open surface lot with no low overhead beams, concrete decks, or height restriction bars, it provides virtually unlimited vertical clearance.
