About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Columbia’s premier retail corridor along Harbison Boulevard, the parking area serving Columbiana Centre and Dave & Buster's offers convenient, expansive vehicle parking for shoppers, diners, and entertainment seekers. This facility consists of a wide-open, surface asphalt parking field arranged around the perimeter of the mall complex, providing direct, ground-level access to the dedicated exterior entrance of Dave & Buster's as well as adjacent mall concourses.

Because the facility is an open-air surface lot with no low-hanging overhead decks, beams, or structural garage ceiling restrictions, it accommodates virtually all vehicle types with ease. Standard sedans, full-size pickup trucks, crossover SUVs, tall passenger vans, and high-roof utility vehicles can navigate and park without vertical clearance concerns. Extra-wide driving lanes and two-way circulation aisles further facilitate stress-free turning and maneuvering for larger wheelbases.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Located at 100 Columbiana Circle in the bustling Harbison shopping district of Northwest Columbia (adjacent to Irmo), this parking facility places guests steps away from top-tier entertainment and dining hubs, as well as a short drive from regional recreation landmarks:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Entering and exiting the parking area is straightforward thanks to Columbiana Circle, a complete ring road encircling the entire shopping mall property. Motorists can access the ring road from multiple signalized intersections along Harbison Boulevard, Saint Andrews Road, and Columbiana Drive. The property provides direct arterial connections to Interstate 26 (I-26) at Exit 103 (Harbison Blvd) and Exit 104 (Piney Grove Road), ensuring smooth freeway access to and from downtown Columbia, Lexington, and Spartanburg.

For public transit users, the region is served by The COMET (Central Midlands Regional Transit Authority), which operates regular bus service through the Harbison commercial sector, linking the mall area to transfer points across Richland and Lexington counties. Ride-share operators (Uber and Lyft) have ample curb space along the Dave & Buster's and mall entrances for passenger drop-offs and pick-ups.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Park on the West/Northwest Perimeter: To minimize walking to Dave & Buster's, navigate Columbiana Circle to the western arc of the property where Dave & Buster's prominent exterior signage and dedicated entrance are located.
Peak Arrival Times: Weekend evenings (Friday and Saturday from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM) experience high visitor traffic; parking slightly further out in the secondary lot rows still offers an easy 60-second stroll to the doors.
Watch for Pedestrian Crosswalks: The ring road experiences heavy foot traffic crossing from outer parking rows into the mall entrances; maintain low speeds and yield to pedestrians at marked crossings.
Holiday Season Navigation: During November and December peak holiday shopping weekends, use the Saint Andrews Road or Columbiana Drive back-entrances to bypass heavy traffic queuing on Harbison Boulevard.
