Parking Information

With the continuation of changes by the venue to the parking and pedestrian traffic flow due to the recent bridge installation, we have established this year's facilitation to participant and visitor access for the regatta.

Tower Side Parking:

Handicap, VIP, and Vendor Parking -– Please proceed into the lot and park in the designated parking spaces; attendants should be available to direct you and collect any parking fees necessary. Please DO NOT block the Tent City Drop Off area which is used by team buses/vans and vendor loading.

Team Bus, Athlete, Tent City & Handicap Drop-Off ONLY- After drop-off, please exit the lot and proceed to your destination. Turn right for General Parking ($15) Team buses/shuttles cannot remain on site and should coordinate with their coaches for places to park until pick-up later in the day after the races have completed, no exceptions.

Dock Side Parking:

Trailer & Coaches Parking –Once you’ve entered the lot, please follow parking attendant’s directions. Coaches' trucks will be instructed to park along the road leading to the north side of the boathouses.

General Parking / $10

Dock side and Tower side parking - for the general public, additional coaches' vehicles other than the towing vehicle and head coach's vehcile, and rowers in their own vehicles follow the parking attendants' instructions as to which lot to proceed. The dockside parking will load first to minimize traffic on the Tower side while teams are dropping off and tent city is organizing. Once the dockside lot is full, the tower side lit will load up.

Please have your $10 ready (exact change is appreciated) and follow directions into the lot.

We will e-mail to all registered teams the changes and a clarification of the drop off and parking procedures in effect during this year’s regatta.

Thank you for your understanding of this temporary inconvenience.
