Facility Overview
Stackkly - Bobtail/Box-Truck Parking offers a dedicated, open-air commercial vehicle staging and overnight parking facility located at 255B 28th St SW in the bustling southern Grand Rapids/Wyoming metro corridor. Situated on the grounds of a major hospitality and commercial campus right at the junction of 28th Street SW and US-131, this ground-level surface lot is purpose-engineered to provide hassle-free parking for commercial operators. The layout features wide aisles, generous turning envelopes, and completely unobstructed vertical clearance with zero overhead beams, making it an exceptional fit for bobtail semi-tractors, commercial box trucks, refrigerated straight trucks, flatbed work vehicles, oversized pickup trucks, and high-roof transport vans. Standard passenger cars and light-duty fleet vehicles are also comfortably accommodated.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Strategically positioned just four miles south of Downtown Grand Rapids, this lot serves as an efficient home base for drivers, contractors, and business travelers who need quick access to the area's primary civic and cultural destinations. Downtown entertainment and business hubs—including the Van Andel Arena, DeVos Place Convention Center, DeVos Performance Hall, Grand Rapids Art Museum (GRAM), and the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum—are just a 7 to 10-minute drive straight up the US-131 expressway. The Grand Valley State University (GVSU) Pew Campus is roughly four miles to the north. In the immediate vicinity, drivers can access numerous dining options, convenience stores, and retail centers lining 28th Street SW, including Rogers Plaza, while major retail destinations such as Woodland Mall and The Shops at CenterPoint are situated a quick drive eastward. Outdoor escapes like Plaster Creek Trail and Lamar Park are also located within a couple of miles.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Navigating to and from the lot is straightforward thanks to its immediate proximity to US-131 at Exit 81 (28th Street SW). Drivers exiting the highway can pull into the facility in under one minute via broad, paved commercial curb cuts that easily accommodate medium- and heavy-duty vehicles without tight curb strikes. Exiting back onto 28th Street is assisted by dedicated turn bays and coordinated signalized intersections. For local public transit connections, The Rapid (Interurban Transit Partnership) operates Route 28 along the corridor, and the Division Avenue Silver Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) station is situated less than a half-mile away, granting fast, car-free transit to Downtown Grand Rapids Central Station.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Drivers should keep in mind that this specific facility is dedicated to bobtail tractors and box trucks; full 53-foot tractor-trailer combos are not permitted in these designated bays. To guarantee an assigned spot and avoid arrival delays, book your space in advance through the Stackkly mobile app or website. When approaching from US-131, take Exit 81 and head east on 28th Street SW, making an immediate entry turn into the 255 hospitality campus. Morning and evening rush hours (7:30 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM) can bring moderate cross-traffic along 28th Street, so allow a few extra minutes when pulling out onto the main roadway.
