Facility Overview

The parking facility serving the LongHorn Steakhouse at Colonial Park Mall is located at 4560 Jonestown Rd, Harrisburg, PA. As part of the wider Colonial Park Mall complex, this venue primarily features an expansive, open-air surface parking lot that wraps around the shopping center. The layout is designed to accommodate high-volume retail traffic, providing ample space for standard passenger vehicles, full-size SUVs, and pickup trucks.
