Facility Overview

Situated in Pulaski County's Fairlawn commercial corridor just across the New River from the City of Radford, the parking lot at 6226 University Park Drive serves an expansive 46-acre healthcare and professional campus. Built initially to accommodate high-density office use at the former Radford University Corporate Park and now serving Pyramid Healthcare’s New River Valley facility, this sprawling open-air surface lot offers generous capacity with clearly marked two-way driving lanes and convenient stalls.

Because this is a completely open-air asphalt surface facility, it features no overhead clearance barriers or low ceilings. It comfortably accommodates standard commuter vehicles, full-size SUVs, crew-cab pickup trucks, medical transport vans, and high-roof conversion vans. The wide turning radii and unobstructed layout also allow easy navigation for delivery vehicles, paratransit minibuses, and emergency service responders.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

The facility enjoys a strategic location positioned adjacent to the commercial heart of Fairlawn and within minutes of downtown Radford and regional recreational hubs:

• Dedmon Center Athletics Complex: Situated approximately 2.5 miles away along the scenic riverbanks, hosting Division I NCAA basketball, volleyball, track meets, and university athletic events.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Accessing 6226 University Park Drive is straightforward via U.S. Route 11 (Lee Highway), the central arterial highway linking Fairlawn, Christiansburg, and Radford. University Park Drive branches off Route 11, leading directly to the property's dedicated entrance loop and expansive parking sectors. The layout features wide ingress and egress aprons that maintain smooth traffic flow even during shift turnovers.

Regional transit is available through the Radford Transit bus network and Pulaski County public transportation options connecting Fairlawn with downtown Radford and surrounding communities. For regional travelers, Interstate 81 is accessible via Exit 105 or Exit 109, providing an easy 10-to-15-minute drive from the highway corridor.
