Visitor & Driver Tips

While spaces are plentiful year-round, traffic along Harbison Boulevard and Columbiana Circle peaks on Saturday afternoons and during the winter holiday shopping season. During these peak periods, arriving via the Piney Grove Road or St. Andrews Road access routes can save you significant transit time by bypassing the main Harbison Boulevard intersection. Remember to note your entrance anchor (such as Dillard\'s or Belk) and parking row aisle markers to locate your vehicle easily when concluding your visit.
