About this Location

Facility Overview

The Old Navy Interior Lot at Willowbrook Mall provides convenient, direct-access surface parking for visitors to one of northern New Jersey\'s premier retail destinations. Situated in Wayne, NJ (Passaic County), this expansive open-air parking facility sits along Willowbrook Boulevard, directly serving the mall\'s prominent retail concourses, Old Navy storefront, and surrounding department wings. Because this is an open-air surface lot without overhead canopies or multi-story deck ceilings, it offers unrestricted vertical clearance. As a result, it easily accommodates high-clearance vehicles, large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and rooftop-accessorized passenger cars that might otherwise struggle with tight clearance limits in enclosed city garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This parking zone places visitors right at the doorstep of the two-level Willowbrook Mall complex and its extensive mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Major destinations within a 2- to 7-minute walk include:

Retail Anchors: Old Navy, Macy\'s, Bloomingdale\'s, Apple Store, Zara, Sephora, and H&M.
Dining & Entertainment: Dave & Buster\'s, Cinemark Willowbrook Mall movie theater, The Cheesecake Factory, Yard House, and P.F. Chang\'s.
Nearby Retail Centers: Wayne Towne Center (Costco, Nordstrom Rack, Dick\'s Sporting Goods) located just across US Route 46.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The lot offers exceptionally streamlined vehicular ingress and egress via Willowbrook Boulevard, connecting directly to the interior ring road circling the shopping center. Willowbrook Mall sits right at the critical confluence of three major regional arteries: Interstate 80 (I-80), US Route 46, and NJ Route 23. This central interchange makes arriving from Morris, Essex, Bergen, or Passaic counties seamless. Additionally, the location is adjacent to the Willowbrook Mall NJ Transit Bus Hub and Park & Ride, offering direct, frequent bus transit into Midtown Manhattan\'s Port Authority Bus Terminal (via NJ Transit routes such as the 193, 194, and 198) and regional service to Newark, Paterson, and Montclair State University.

Ideal For

Casual diners and families visiting Dave & Buster\'s, the food court, or sit-down restaurants along the mall perimeter.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During peak holiday shopping periods (November through December) and weekend afternoons, interior ring roads can experience heavy volume. Arriving earlier in the day or parking slightly further along the outer perimeter bays will ensure quick parking and a faster exit back onto US Route 46 or Route 23. Take note of your aisle letter or closest department store signage upon parking to easily relocate your vehicle after shopping.
