Facility Overview

The Target Parking Lot at 5057 Harvey Street serves the Target store in Norton Shores, Michigan (Muskegon metro area). Designed as a sprawling, single-level open-air surface parking facility, the lot offers direct, grade-level access to the store entrance, CVS Pharmacy pickup counter, and Starbucks cafe. Because this is an expansive uncovered lot with no overhead barriers or parking deck ceilings, there are no vertical clearance restrictions, making it an effortless parking destination for full-size pickup trucks, passenger vans, oversized SUVs, and vehicles carrying roof racks or cargo carriers. The lot features wide drive aisles, clearly demarcated driving lanes, well-maintained asphalt, and dedicated curbside zones for Target Drive Up orders.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Parking is typically effortless, but the rows closest to the main entrance and Drive Up stalls fill quickly during peak weekend hours (11:00 AM to 5:00 PM) and major holiday shopping seasons. If you drive a large work truck, dual-wheel vehicle, or are towing a trailer, head toward the outer eastern perimeter of the lot where spaces remain plentiful and turning radii are widest. Customer parking is free; however, overnight vehicle camping and long-term unattended parking are not permitted without explicit store management consent. For the smoothest exit during high-traffic afternoon hours, consider using the secondary connector road onto Sternberg Road rather than making a left turn across Harvey Street.
