Beginning July 1, 2025, visitors and residents of Pinehurst will see new parking time limits in key areas of the Village as part of a broader effort to improve access, turnover and traffic flow in downtown.
Adopted by the Village Council on Feb. 25, 2025, these updates are outlined in Ordinance #25-04, which amends Chapter 72 of the Pinehurst Municipal Code. The changes were designed to better serve downtown businesses, visitors, and the local community by ensuring parking availability throughout the day. Incoming changes include:
Only vehicles under 18 feet may park in diagonal or perpendicular spaces. Vehicles must follow the orientation posted unless granted a temporary exception by the Village Manager for construction or special-use needs.
Violators may be subject to a civil fine of up to $50, and in some cases, vehicles may be removed without notice to maintain pedestrian safety and public access.
To accommodate those needing longer parking durations—such as downtown employees or long-term visitors—two public parking lots in the Village Center will remain unrestricted:
• Public lot at 1 Village Green Road West (commonly called the Sandlot)
• Public lot next to the Pine Crest Inn on Dogwood Road
These lots will not be subject to time limits, and the Village encourages employees and long-term parkers to use these areas.
“These parking updates are a key part of keeping downtown Pinehurst accessible and thriving,” said Village Manager Doug Willardson in a press release. “Our goal is to support businesses and visitors by improving turnover and managing high-demand areas more effectively.”
