Facility Overview

The Truck Parking Club facility at 164 Sawyer Avenue offers a dedicated, fully paved commercial vehicle parking solution in Tonawanda, New York. Positioned right in the thriving industrial corridor of Erie County near the Niagara River, this open-air surface facility provides specialized, secure parking tailored primarily for bobtail tractors (semi-cabs without trailers), box trucks, hotshot rigs, and commercial vans. Because this is an unobstructed, grade-level open lot, drivers enjoy complete freedom from low-hanging beams, pipes, or vertical height clearance limits, making it effortless to park high-profile freight and logistics vehicles safely.
