Visitor & Driver Tips

When traveling to Progress Park Lot 24, configure your GPS specifically for Progress Drive in Wytheville to ensure routing along designated heavy-commercial roads rather than residential cut-throughs. Be mindful of active truck traffic along the interior park roads, as tractor-trailers and freight logistics vehicles share the main access points. During winter weather and mountain cold fronts in Wythe County, exercise caution on open lot surfaces during early morning hours before treatment, and ensure vehicles are locked with personal valuables safely stowed out of sight.
