Standin' on the Corner Park, Winslow
The downtown corner that put Winslow on the map, complete with the mural, the statue, and the flatbed Ford.
What to expect
Standin' on the Corner Park sits at the heart of downtown Winslow on old Route 66. It exists because of a single line in a 1972 song, and it has become the reason a lot of people pull off I-40 in the first place.
The park is small, free, and open air: a bronze statue, a trompe-l'oeil mural with the girl in the flatbed Ford, and a corner that has been photographed a few million times. Shops and cafes surround it, so most visitors combine the stop with lunch or a browse.
From the hotel it is a short drive east into downtown, which makes it an easy first stop after check-in or a last stop before you get back on the interstate.
Practical tips
- Early morning and late afternoon give the best light and the smallest crowds.
- Street parking downtown is usually straightforward; larger vehicles should look for wider side streets.
- Pair the corner with the Old Trails Museum and the visitor center, both within a few blocks.
