Facility Overview

The Target Parking Lot at 1950 E County Line Rd serves the busy Target retail store and surrounding retail plaza located on the northern boundary of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, right along the border with Littleton and Centennial. Designed as an expansive, open-air surface lot, it offers hundreds of standard parking bays arranged in clear, parallel rows with wide two-way driving lanes. Because the facility is an outdoor ground-level lot without overhead decks or garage barriers, there are no vertical clearance restrictions, making it exceptionally accommodating for large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, crossover vehicles, and high-roof conversion vans. Dedicated Order Pickup drive-up bays, ADA-accessible parking spaces, and cart return corrals are positioned strategically near the storefront entrances for seamless customer convenience.

Visitor & Driver Tips

• Peak Hours: Weekend mid-mornings and early afternoons (typically Saturday and Sunday between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM), as well as weekday post-work hours (5:00 PM to 7:00 PM), see the highest traffic density. For the quickest in-and-out experience, plan visits during morning hours before 10:00 AM or after 8:00 PM.
• Mind the Drive-Up Lanes: Keep the clearly marked red-and-white Drive-Up parking bays open for mobile app pickup customers, especially during busy evening shopping rushes.
• Intersection Traffic: Exiting eastbound onto County Line Road or northbound onto University Boulevard can back up during evening commuter peak periods; using internal connector drives to reach signalized exits ensures easier merging into traffic.
• Parking Regulations: This private commercial facility is intended for active patrons and customers; overnight parking, long-term camping, and commuter park-and-ride staging are strictly prohibited and subject to enforcement.
