Facility Overview
RiverTown Crossings - Lot F serves as a primary western surface parking zone for West Michigan's premier retail and entertainment destination, RiverTown Crossings, located in Grandville, Michigan. Positioned along the mall's outer ring road, Lot F provides direct access to the western anchor concourses, including the 20-screen Celebration Cinema megaplex and major department store wings. This vast, open-air surface lot is laid out on level asphalt with clearly marked travel lanes, wide drive aisles, and directional signage that facilitates seamless vehicle flow.
Because Lot F is an unobstructed open-air lot with no overhead barriers or height restrictors, it offers unlimited vertical clearance. This makes it an ideal choice for standard sedans and compact cars as well as oversized pickup trucks, extended SUVs, conversion vans, high-roof cargo vans, and specialized accessible mobility vehicles. Drivers of commercial delivery vans and utility vehicles will appreciate the wide turning radii and ample row clearance throughout the lot.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress to Lot F are designed for heavy retail traffic volumes. Drivers can enter from RiverTown Parkway onto the perimeter ring road via signalized intersections at Wilson Avenue SW, Ivanrest Avenue SW, or 44th Street SW. The multi-lane interior boulevard system smoothly disperses traffic around the complex and minimizes post-movie congestion even during peak holiday weekends and blockbuster movie releases.

Ford Freeway) and Michigan State Route 6 (M-6 / Paul B. Henry Freeway) are within a 5-minute drive, allowing fast connections to Holland, Lansing, and downtown Grand Rapids.
