Facility Overview
Beaty Landing Upper Lot is a convenient open-air surface parking facility located at 477 E Walnut Ave in the heart of Painesville, Ohio. Designed as a traditional flat-lot configuration, it provides easy, unobstructed access for all vehicle types. Because it is a surface-level lot without roofing structures, it features unlimited vertical clearance, making it an excellent choice for full-size pickup trucks, SUVs with roof racks, and high-roof conversion vans that would otherwise struggle in standard parking garages.
