Visitor & Driver Tips

For the best experience, we recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before any scheduled community events or peak weekend waterfront hours. Because this is an open-air facility, ensure all valuables are stored out of sight when leaving your vehicle. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the immediate cross-streets prior to arrival to navigate local one-way systems effectively if necessary. Always check local signage upon entry for the most current hourly rates and any specific parking prohibitions.
