About this Location

Facility Overview

The Woodcrest parking facility serves the Woodcrest PATCO Speedline Station in Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey. Designed primarily as a major regional park-and-ride hub, this expansive open-air surface lot offers more than 2,500 vehicle spaces arranged across wide, clearly marked aisles. Because the facility is entirely at ground level with no overhead structures or low-clearance decks, it accommodates vehicles of virtually any height—from standard compact cars and sedans to full-size pickup trucks, passenger vans, and conversion SUVs. The lot features wide turning radii and broad drive lanes that make navigation effortless, even during morning and evening rush hours.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Situated in southern Cherry Hill, this lot functions as the premier gateway between South Jersey suburban corridors and Center City Philadelphia. While the surrounding Woodcrest neighborhood is quiet and residential, the station provides high-frequency rapid transit to major destinations across the Delaware River and the South Jersey area:

Philadelphia Sports Complex (Wells Fargo Center, Lincoln Financial Field, Citizens Bank Park): Approximately 30 to 35 minutes away by boarding PATCO to 8th & Market or Walnut-Locust and transferring to the Broad Street Line.
Center City Philadelphia: Direct 20 to 25-minute train ride to destinations including Jefferson Health, the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Liberty Bell Center, and Market Street shopping.
Camden Waterfront: 15 minutes away via PATCO to City Hall or Broadway stations, connecting directly to the Adventure Aquarium, Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, and Rutgers University–Camden.
Cherry Hill Shopping & Dining: A short 8-to-10-minute drive to Route 70 and Route 38 retail hubs, including the Cherry Hill Mall and Garden State Discovery Museum.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The Woodcrest parking lot is famously one of the easiest commuter facilities to reach in New Jersey, thanks to direct, dedicated off-ramps from Interstate 295 at Exit 31. Drivers arriving from North or South Jersey can exit directly into the station\'s perimeter road without navigating surface-street bottlenecks. Local neighborhood access is also provided via Woodcrest Road and Melrose Avenue. Trains run frequently throughout the day and late into the night, making PATCO a seamless, traffic-free transit alternative to crossing the Benjamin Franklin or Walt Whitman bridges.

Visitor & Driver Tips

While the vast majority of spaces in the outer lots are free for daily transit riders, preferred close-in spaces near the station platform can require a nominal fee. Arrive before 8:00 AM on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to secure the closest parking stalls to the turnstiles. When returning late at night from games or concerts, note your parking quadrant letter or landmark pole number to easily locate your car in this multi-acre facility.
