Where to view it
Visitors traveling along the adjacent main roads can easily observe the cluster of warehouse-style buildings, loading docks, and the steady flow of commercial transport vehicles. A drive-through provides a clear glimpse into the utilitarian architecture and the daily rhythm of the local workforce.

Local products
While not a traditional retail destination, some manufacturers within the park may occasionally have factory outlet storefronts selling locally made garments or furniture at discounted rates. Inquiring locally is the best way to discover any direct-to-consumer sales available at the time.
