Facility Overview
The parking facility associated with Redd\'s Restaurant in Carlstadt, New Jersey, is a convenient, open-air surface lot designed primarily to serve patrons of the establishment and visitors to the surrounding area. Located at 317 Washington Ave, this lot offers easy accessibility for standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and pickup trucks.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This location is strategically positioned in the heart of Carlstadt, serving as a hub for both local dining and regional event traffic. Its most significant advantage is its proximity to the Meadowlands Sports Complex, which includes MetLife Stadium and the Meadowlands Arena. During major game days, concerts, and stadium events, this lot provides a localized alternative to the congested stadium parking lots, allowing visitors to enjoy the atmosphere of the neighborhood before making a short commute to the gates.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Access to the lot is gained directly via Washington Avenue. The site is highly accessible from major regional arteries including Route 17, the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95), and Interstate 80. Drivers should be aware that during high-attendance events at the Meadowlands, surrounding traffic can become heavy; arriving early is advised to ensure smooth entry.
