Facility Overview

The Target Parking Lot at 2707 Schofield Avenue serves visitors across the Village of Weston and neighboring Schofield in the greater Wausau metropolitan area. Structured as a sprawling, single-level outdoor surface parking facility, this lot provides generous capacity for general retail customers, quick-stop shoppers, and patrons visiting adjacent shopping plaza stores. Because the facility is completely open-air without overhead decking or height barriers, it presents unrestricted vertical clearance, making it exceptionally well suited for high-profile vehicles, including full-size pickup trucks, passenger vans, roof-rack-equipped SUVs, and commercial service vehicles that would otherwise struggle with low garage ceilings.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Conveniently positioned directly along the Schofield Avenue retail corridor (Business Highway 29), this parking facility offers effortless walking access to popular retail, dining, and daily service destinations throughout Weston and Schofield:

• Retail Hubs: Direct access to the Target department store, Dollar Tree, and nearby neighborhood strip centers located within a 1- to 3-minute walk.
• Dining & Eateries: Located within a 5-minute walk or 2-minute drive of numerous local dining favorites and quick-service restaurants, including Tine & Cellar, Culver\'s, and local coffee shops along Schofield Avenue.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Vehicular ingress and egress are remarkably straightforward. Drivers can access the parking lot via multiple wide entrances off Schofield Avenue and secondary access points connecting to adjacent commercial thoroughfares. The facility sits in close proximity to major regional arteries, including Interstate 39 / U.S. Highway 51 and Wisconsin Highway 29, enabling rapid travel across Marathon County without navigating dense downtown congestion.

Visitor & Driver Tips

While the parking lot offers vast stall capacity, spaces closest to the Target entrance fill quickly during weekend mid-afternoons and holiday shopping peaks. For the fastest park-and-walk experience, aim for the mid-lot rows aligned with the perimeter driving lanes. Winter visitors should be mindful of designated snow accumulation berms during Northern Wisconsin snow events and take care when walking along slush-prone crosswalks. Overnight parking and unauthorized long-term vehicle storage are strictly prohibited by property management.
