Visitor & Driver Tips
Drivers visiting Tooley Mobile Home Park should note that this is a private residential community rather than a public hourly transit garage. Parking is primarily intended for residents and their authorized visitors. When turning off State Road 64 onto local access roads, slow down in advance, as rural traffic on the state highway can move at elevated speeds. During winter months, exercise standard seasonal precautions when navigating unpaved or gravel turnaround areas following snow or freezing rain.
