Parking

With each rowing event held at Griggs, the Columbus rowing community assures the Columbus Department of Recreation and Parks that the park will not be damaged by the event. Competitors are required to comply with the parking plan described below:

On Sunday morning, all competitors and spectators will be required to park in the campground area south of Griggs Dam (approx. 2 miles south of Fishinger Road). Signs will be posted to assist you. Free shuttle buses will run continuously from the campground area. 

Please note that if you park in any undesignated areas (i.e.: in the park, in the merchant lots, along Riverside Dr. or side streets), you may be ticketed and towed.  Parking on the grass will result in a ticket or being towed and will jeopardize future regattas. There will be a shuttle service provided to and from the parking lot. There will also be a group of parking volunteers to direct traffic. Please follow their instructions.

Trailers with boats will be allowed into the park to unload in the park any time AFTER 3PM on Saturday, April 28th.  They will also be allowed into the park to unload boats on Sunday morning; however, access to the park (area north of Fishinger Road Bridge) will be closed after 7:40 am! All boat trailers will be directed to park on the right hand side of the park road, going north along the park road once you get past the launch/recovery area.  NO PARKING IN THE VICINITY OF THE LAUNCH AND RECOVERY DOCKS!  No buses north of Fishinger Road bridge please!  The buses need to park in the main parking lot, which is to the right after entering the park at Nottingham and Riverside Drive and just south of the Fishinger Road Bridge. The road  is, beyond the bridge,  a one-way (north) street. All other team vehicles, spectators, and participants will be required to park in the campground area.

Any and all questions should be directed to either:
