Visitor & Driver Tips
To maximize your experience, we recommend arriving at least 30 to 45 minutes before the start of major events to ensure you secure a spot during high-traffic periods. Since this is an open-air facility, remember to double-check that your vehicle is locked and no valuables are left in plain sight. If you are visiting for a large-scale event, check the local parking apps in advance, as event-day surge pricing may be in effect.
