Visitor & Driver Tips

Midvale Park parking experiences its highest demand on Saturday and Sunday mornings during spring and autumn recreational sports seasons. If you are attending a weekend tournament or game, plan to arrive 15 to 20 minutes prior to match time to secure a spot directly adjacent to your designated field. Please observe local borough parking regulations, adhere to posted dawn-to-dusk park hours, and avoid parking on residential lawns or blocking private driveways along Midvale Road if the primary lot reaches capacity.
