About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot 2 at 4 Estling Lake Road is an open-air surface parking facility strategically situated right by the Denville rail corridor along the Parsippany-Troy Hills and Denville municipal boundary in Morris County, New Jersey. Tailored primarily as an accessible commuter and park-and-ride facility, this asphalt surface lot provides well-striped stalls arranged for seamless drive-aisle maneuvering. Because it is an open-air lot without multi-level structural overheads, vertical height clearance is unrestricted, making it exceptionally accommodating for standard sedans, compact crossovers, large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and service vans equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers.
