Facility Overview
The Redlands High School - Stadium Parking Lot is an expansive, open-air surface parking facility situated at 907 E Central Ave in historic Redlands, California. Purpose-built to serve Dodge Stadium and the high school\'s extensive athletic fields and gymnasium facilities, the lot features wide drive aisles, dedicated perimeter access, and clearly striped vehicle stalls. Because this is an open-air surface lot without an overhead ceiling structure or parking garage deck, there are virtually no vertical height restrictions, making it exceptionally accommodating for oversized SUVs, full-size pickup trucks, commercial passenger vans, and standard vehicles alike.

Visitor & Driver Tips
On varsity football game nights and graduation dates, the stadium lot fills very quickly; plan to arrive 30 to 45 minutes ahead of scheduled kickoff to secure convenient parking near the gate. When entering from East Central Avenue, yield to crossing student pedestrians, and follow any event staff or safety marshals directing traffic. Keep vehicle valuables out of plain sight and verify that your vehicle is parked strictly between marked stalls to avoid parking citations or towing during active school hours.
