Visitor & Driver Tips
While parking in this retail corridor is typically abundant and complimentary for customers, prime spots closest to the storefronts can fill up rapidly on Friday and Saturday evenings as well as during major holiday shopping rushes. Drivers of oversized vehicles or trucks are advised to choose parking spaces located toward the outer perimeter of the lot for effortless turning and exit maneuvers.
