Facility Overview

Situated on the spacious campus at 33 North Harwinton Avenue in Terryville (Town of Plymouth), Connecticut, this open-air surface parking facility serves visitors, students, staff, and attendees of school and community events at Terryville High School and adjacent municipal recreation grounds. The parking grounds feature broad, paved asphalt lots with clear white stall striping and generous turning aprons. Because this is an open-air surface lot without low-hanging ceiling beams or multi-level clearance constraints, it comfortably accommodates a wide range of vehicles, including standard commuter sedans, compact hatchbacks, crossover SUVs, full-size pickup trucks, and high-roof passenger or transport vans.
