About this Location

Facility Overview

Heritage Square Parking provides expansive, convenient surface-level parking serving the Heritage Plaza shopping and dining destination located at 14100 Culver Drive in Irvine, California. Situated at the prominent crossroads of Culver Drive and Walnut Avenue, this open-air commercial parking lot features wide drive aisles, generous stall dimensions, and smooth directional flow designed to comfortably support high-turnover retail and dining traffic.
