Facility Overview
Careerlink Staff Parking is an open-air surface parking facility situated at 123 S 3rd St in the historic commercial heart of Sunbury, Pennsylvania. Specifically situated to serve employees, regional agency staff, and visitors to the local PA CareerLink and county social service offices, this ground-level paved lot offers straightforward stall layouts with direct sidewalk connections. Because the lot is an uncovered surface facility without low-hanging ceiling decks, overhead ductwork, or restrictive clearance barriers, it comfortably accommodates passenger sedans, full-size SUVs, dual-rear-wheel pickup trucks, and high-roof utility vans without height clearance concerns.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because this facility primarily serves staff and authorized visitors connected to CareerLink and regional administrative operations, drivers should check posted signage regarding permit requirements, staff-only designations, and authorized visiting hours before leaving their vehicles. If visiting during peak weekday office hours (between 8:30 AM and 3:30 PM), spaces can fill quickly; arriving 10 to 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment is recommended. In the event the lot is occupied, metered street parking and municipal surface lots are readily available along neighboring blocks of Market Street and South 2nd Street.
