Facility Overview
Located at 4500 Gulfway Drive in Port Arthur, Texas, this parking facility serves the industrial and maritime corridor of the region. Being an open-air surface lot, it offers an expansive, unencumbered layout that is exceptionally friendly to large vehicles. Unlike structured garages that suffer from low-ceiling height restrictions, this surface lot provides virtually unlimited vertical clearance, making it an ideal choice for full-size pickup trucks, dually trucks, high-roof conversion vans, and vehicles towing trailers. The site is laid out to accommodate standard passenger cars and heavy-duty vehicles with ease, providing ample room for maneuverability.

Visitor & Driver Tips
We recommend arriving early during peak industrial shift-change hours to ensure you have your pick of the most conveniently located spaces. Because this is an open-air lot, please ensure you secure your vehicle and keep valuables out of sight, as is standard practice in industrial parking areas. For those visiting for a specific regional event or festival, consider checking local Port Arthur traffic reports, as Gulfway Drive can occasionally experience higher volumes during local port-related activities. GPS users should input the exact address, as the lot is highly visible from the main road once you enter the Gulfway Drive corridor.
