Facility Overview
3621 William Penn Hwy Parking offers open-air surface parking located directly along the prominent Route 22 (William Penn Highway) commercial corridor in the eastern Pittsburgh metro area (Wilkins Township / Monroeville border). Laid out as an asphalt-paved surface lot, this location provides straightforward parking without the height restrictions typical of downtown garages. Because it is an unobstructed open-air lot, standard passenger vehicles, compact sedans, mid-sized crossovers, full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and work vans can easily enter, maneuver, and park without overhead clearance concerns.
