About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot 4, situated at 9 Franklin Pl near the junction of Parsippany and Morris Plains, NJ, is an organized outdoor surface parking facility catering to daily commuters, local residents, and area visitors. The lot features an asphalt surface with clearly marked standard stalls, dedicated handicap-accessible spots, and generous drive aisles that permit smooth, two-way circulation.
