About this Location

Facility Overview

The DuBois Elks Parking Lot is a centrally situated open-air surface parking facility located at 42 S Brady St in the heart of downtown DuBois, Pennsylvania. Serving the historic DuBois Elks Lodge #349 as well as visiting patrons attending social functions, local meetings, and community gatherings, this paved surface facility provides uncomplicated, level-grade vehicle accommodation. Because it is completely outdoor with an open layout, there are no overhead height barriers or vertical clearance limits, making it exceptionally accommodating for full-size pickup trucks, commercial service vans, high-profile SUVs, and roof-rack-equipped vehicles that routinely struggle with downtown multi-level parking garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When planning your trip, note that this lot primarily accommodates Elks Lodge members, designated event attendees, and authorized downtown visitors. Space availability can tighten significantly on Friday and Saturday evenings when the lodge hosts private banquets or during community street festivals. Drivers approaching during peak weekday commuting hours should anticipate minor traffic delays along Brady Street near the main intersections.
