Visitor & Driver Tips

During weekend youth athletic tournaments and district-sponsored festivals, spaces closest to the primary ballfields fill up rapidly, so drivers are encouraged to arrive 20 to 30 minutes early to secure convenient parking. High Desert afternoon temperatures can rise dramatically during summer months, so consider bringing sunshades for your vehicle\'s windshield. Please observe posted park operational hours (generally dawn until 10:00 PM) as overnight parking and unauthorized camping are prohibited by district park regulations.
