Visitor & Driver Tips

When planning your trip, note that the US-60 and James Sanders Boulevard junction experiences heavier traffic volumes on Friday evenings and weekend afternoons; utilizing secondary access lanes off New Holt Road can help bypass highway congestion. Because this is an open-air surface lot, consider utilizing sunshades during warm summer days. Always confirm posted signage near your parking stall to adhere to designated customer zones and private property regulations.
