The City of Lakeland Solid Waste Division parking lot is a decent place to park when visiting the downtown area. It's wheelchair accessible, which is a plus. The parking lot itself is not very big, with only two handicap slots available.
It's a short walk from the downtown area, but not very safe at night due to lack of sufficient lighting.
Overall, it's a basic parking lot that serves its purpose, especially during events in Lakeland.
It has a bit of a mixed reputation, but overall it seems to be a serviceable option. There's not a lot of extra amenities or features, but it gets the job done. One thing that could be improved is the lighting in the parking lot, which makes it feel a bit unsafe at night.
