Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Lee County, Virginia, the parking facility at 163 Magnolia St in Pennington Gap offers convenient, ground-level surface parking for residents, travelers, and regional visitors. This open-air lot features a practical, single-level layout that eliminates overhead clearance restrictions, making it an excellent choice for a broad spectrum of motor vehicles.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned right along downtown Pennington Gap’s commercial and civic corridor, this facility places motorists just steps from local commerce and civic buildings. It sits within easy walking distance (under 5 minutes) of the historic Lee Theatre, a focal point for regional performances, movies, and community events on Morgan Avenue. Visitors are also within a short stroll of Town Hall, local law offices, and hometown restaurants and bakeries. Outdoor enthusiasts heading toward Leeman Field—which features riverside walking trails along the Powell River, youth sports fields, and a community amphitheater—can also utilize this central downtown hub as a convenient staging area.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The lot provides direct curb cuts along Magnolia Street, allowing drivers to enter and exit quickly without navigating complex multi-level ramps or tight spiral turns. Magnolia Street connects seamlessly with US-58 Alternate (Morgan Avenue) and US-421, the primary transportation arteries cutting through Southwest Virginia and connecting Pennington Gap to neighboring towns such as Jonesville, Big Stone Gap, and Duffield. Local road traffic is generally steady and light, making post-event exits smooth and stress-free.
