Facility Overview

Situated at 859 Harvest Lane within the Taft Corners commercial district, the lot features wide driving lanes, clearly demarcated stalls, and specialized designated zones for commercial loading, Pro contractor parking, and rental trailer staging.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Peak customer volume generally occurs on weekday mornings between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM due to contractor traffic, and on weekend mid-days from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM with home improvement shoppers. If you are operating a large vehicle or towing a trailer, aim for the perimeter spaces along the eastern and southern edges of the lot where traffic is lighter and pull-through maneuvers are easiest. Note that this is customer parking intended for store and plaza patrons; overnight commercial staging and unpermitted long-term vehicle storage are strictly monitored.
