Facility Overview

The Walmart Supercenter parking facility at 1625 County Rd 64 in Elmira, New York serves as a primary retail parking hub in the Southern Tier region. Situated right in the bustling Big Flats and Horseheads commercial corridor, this facility consists of an expansive, open-air surface parking lot designed to accommodate high volumes of daily shoppers, travelers, and commercial visitors. The lot features wide drive aisles, clearly demarcated stalls, and dual main entry plazas serving both the grocery and general merchandise entrances. Because the lot is completely open without height restrictions, overhead clearances, or structural barriers, it is exceptionally well-suited for all types of passenger vehicles, including lifted pickup trucks, full-size commercial work vans, large SUVs, and vehicles equipped with roof racks, ladders, or cargo boxes.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Strategically positioned within the Southern Tier Consumer Square retail complex, the parking facility offers immediate, walkable access to a diverse mix of national retailers, local casual dining, and essential neighborhood services. Visitors parking on-site are within easy walking distance or a short drive of multiple local attractions and commercial centers:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The lot connects directly to County Road 64, which interfaces seamlessly with Interstate 86 (Southern Tier Expressway / NY-17) via Exit 51. Multiple access curb cuts along County Road 64 and interior connector roads allow traffic to disperse efficiently, preventing bottlenecking even during holiday rush periods or weekend shopping peaks. For public transit users, the Chemung County Transit (C-Tran) system services the commercial strip with bus routes linking Horseheads, Elmira, and Corning, with designated stops within walking distance along County Road 64 and around the adjacent mall loop.

Visitor & Driver Tips

While the lot is spacious, parking bays closest to the grocery and pharmacy entrances fill quickly during peak afternoon hours (between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM) and on weekend mornings. For a faster park-and-walk experience, head toward the middle or outer rings of the lot. Drivers of larger trucks or those towing small utility trailers should navigate toward the outer perimeter stalls where wider turnaround space is available. If you are visiting during winter weather, take caution around snow storage mounds typically consolidated on the lot\'s outer fringes.
