Visitor & Driver Tips

Parking in this lot is complimentary for patrons and customers of the retail complex. Stalls located directly in front of the main entrance experience the heaviest vehicular and pedestrian traffic; drivers seeking easier parking maneuvers or extra space around large trucks should park in the mid-to-outer aisles. During winter months, watch for localized snow piling around landscaped islands and perimeter curbs. Always adhere to posted on-site regulations prohibiting unauthorized overnight parking or extended unhitched trailer storage.
