There will no no parking on either side is Prospect Park in the main park area in case emergency vehicles need through.  The parking lot where the ramp goes into the river is reserved for handicapped and regatta officials and regatta personnel including key volunteers.

The small parking lot near the shelter is for cars topping their singles or doubles. Food trucks will also be parked in this lot.

Buses should go to the lot to by MLK, trailers in the big lot diagonally and also parallel to the street. 

First aid, announcer table, command commission will be close the ramp between our launch and retrieval staging areas. 

Registration will be positioned near the parek shelter, the Announcer and PA system will be on the river-side of the bathroom.

Park restrooms will be locked until mid day as they historically can’t handle our numbers. Port-a-johns will be located here.

Teams can find good locations to set up a home base along the bank and anywhere else  on the park grounds
