Visitor & Driver Tips

While parking in this lot is complimentary and abundant, prime spaces directly outside Red Robin and mall entrances fill up quickly during peak lunch (12:00 PM – 2:00 PM) and dinner hours (6:00 PM – 8:30 PM), as well as on weekend afternoons. If visiting during peak holiday shopping seasons, consider parking slightly further out along the outer perimeter rows of Columbiana Circle for an easier parking maneuver and a much faster exit toward Harbison Boulevard.
