Facility Overview
Lot 3 is a well-situated, open-air surface parking facility located in the heart of Pearl River, New York. Specifically serving the needs of the local transit corridor and downtown visitors, this lot offers a straightforward, no-frills parking environment. The layout is designed for efficient self-parking, with clearly delineated spaces that accommodate standard passenger cars, sedans, and small-to-mid-size SUVs.
