About this Location

Facility Overview

The Wayne Theatre Public Parking lot serves as a primary hub for visitors exploring the historic downtown district of Waynesboro, Virginia. This open-air surface lot is designed for convenience, offering easy, ground-level access for all vehicle types. Because it is an open-air facility, there are no height clearance restrictions, making it an excellent choice for full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and vehicles with rooftop carriers that might otherwise struggle in traditional parking garages.
