Facility Overview
The parking lot at 233 E Emory Rd is a spacious, open-air surface parking facility serving the commercial and medical plaza anchored by AFC Urgent Care & Walk-in Clinic in the heart of Powell, Tennessee. Located in north Knox County along the active East Emory Road corridor, this ground-level parking lot provides direct, level ground vehicular access without the clearance constraints found in standard multi-level garages. Drivers will find generous bay dimensions and wide two-way drive aisles, making it exceptionally accommodating for full-size pickup trucks, SUVs, minivans, and passenger sedans. Because there are no overhead barriers, high-roof conversion vans and commercial fleet vehicles can maneuver easily without clearance height concerns.

Visitor & Driver Tips
East Emory Road experiences heavy rush hour traffic during peak weekday morning and late afternoon commute hours; when leaving the lot to make a left turn during peak periods, drivers may find it easier to utilize protected signals at nearby intersections. Parking spaces closest to clinic doors turn over frequently throughout the day, so arriving patrons generally find ample spaces available within a few paces of their destination.
