Facility Overview
Situated at the intersection of Renton Road and Tenney Street in the historic plantation community of Ewa Villages, this public parking facility offers accessible, open-air surface parking for visitors, residents, and parkgoers. Designed primarily as single-level ground parking, the lot features wide driving aisles and standard open-bay stalls. Because it is completely open to the sky without overhead gantries, low arches, or ceiling beams, it easily accommodates high-profile vehicles including full-size pickup trucks, lifted SUVs, work vans, and vehicles with rooftop carriers, surf racks, or bike racks.
