About this Location

Facility Overview

The Willowbrook Marquee Lot is a spacious, open-air surface parking facility situated along US-46 at the Willowbrook Mall campus in Wayne, New Jersey. Positioned directly adjacent to the prominent highway marquee sign and fronting one of North Jersey’s premier retail and transit hubs, this lot provides expansive, level asphalt parking. Because it is an entirely open-sky lot with no low-hanging clearances, overhangs, or height barriers, it easily accommodates high-profile vehicles, including full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, conversion vans, passenger shuttles, and commercial delivery vehicles. Wide travel aisles and clearly delineated stall markings allow for effortless maneuvering and quick stall entry even during peak retail seasons and weekday rush hours.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When visiting the Marquee Lot during holiday shopping weekends or Black Friday sales events, consider arriving early in the morning to snag spaces nearest the primary mall entrances. If you are catching an NJ TRANSIT commuter bus, verify whether your vehicle is parked within designated mall-patron sections or the designated commuter Park & Ride stalls, as municipal transit zones may require specific commuter permits or daily transit parking fees. Set your navigation device directly to the Willowbrook Boulevard entrance from US-46 to avoid unnecessary loops around the mall ring road.
