WRI's Parking Lot
Wenatchee River Institute has a parking lot* onsite for 20 vehicles. There is one space reserved for those with a disabled parking permit** and one space reserved for Upper Valley MEND clients during office hours.
Parking is complimentary for all guests and attendees visiting the office or attending a scheduled program.
For general use outside of these times (such as accessing local trails, Barn Beach, or downtown), we ask for a parking payment via our website here or Venmo.
Tip: The easiest way to secure year-round parking is to become a WRI member! Your membership includes a parking permit valid for the membership year from June 1-May 31.
Please note that we try to keep our parking lot open for programming during weekdays from 8am-5pm. If you'd like to park here during that timeframe, feel free to check in with us by calling 509-548-0181 or emailing info@wenatcheeriverinstitute.org.
*No overnight parking is permitted in WRI's parking lot.
**If this space is being used and you need to park at WRI for a program, please give us a call at 509-548-0181. We will try our best to accommodate you!
Nearby Parking
If the WRI parking lot is full, there is also free parking available at WRI's E. Lorene Young Community Garden on the corner of 12th and Commercial Streets. There are also various parking spots available throughout downtown Leavenworth. Check out parking resources here from the Leavenworth Chamber of Commerce.
Please note that parking can be very limited in Leavenworth on busy weekends, particularly on festival weekends and in the summer.
