Facility Overview

The Car Parking area situated at 144 Oxford Rd (Route 67) in Oxford, Connecticut, provides convenient open-air surface parking serving local businesses, service establishments, and visitors traversing the Route 67 corridor. Positioned along one of Oxford\'s most vital thoroughfares near the Seymour town boundary, this ground-level parking lot features straightforward bay parking with asphalt paving and clear vehicular circulation.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Traffic along Route 67 can experience increased volume during morning and late-afternoon commute hours; exercise caution when making left-hand turns out of the parking apron onto the main roadway. During winter weather, park within established lane lines to assist commercial snow plowing and salting operations. If you are meeting someone for a carpool or connecting to the Metro-North train, ensure vehicles are locked with valuables placed out of sight in the trunk.
