Facility Overview

Ninety Six Primary School Main Parking is an open-air surface parking facility serving Ninety Six Primary School and Greenwood School District 52 in the historic town of Ninety Six, South Carolina. Located directly off State Street, this expansive ground-level asphalt lot features clearly delineated standard stalls, designated staff parking, accessible bays, and a structured vehicle drop-off loop.
