NATHAN BENDERSON PARK INFORMATION

Admission & Parking:  Admission to Nathan Benderson Park is free for all attendees and spectators. There is, however, a charge for parking on the island. Cost for parking is $5.00 per day for all vehicles. Vehicles hauling boat trailers and car topped boats will recieve a parking pass unless otherwise noted. There will also be one additional Coach's Parking Pass per team. Parking passes will be distributed upon the teams arrival.  

Drones: No private drone usage is allowed in the park during the American Youth Cup.

Team Tents: SANCA mandates that any tent larger than two combined 10x10 EZ set up tents (one 10'x20' not allowed) must meet specific safety standards regarding fire and wind load. In order to ensure that these requirements are met, larger tents are required to be rented through SANCA and installed by the SANCA approved tent contractor.

If a rental is needed, please fill out the online tent rental form no later than 2 weeks prior to the event: app.smartsheet.com/b/form?EQBCT=fe8462c97dec445485779292e65770fe

Coaches only Bike Path:  On the western shoreline, there is a dedicated Coaches' Ride Along Path. Traffic pattern on Coaches' path is NORTHBOUND only. To reach the Start Line area, you will ride south on a separate path on the far (inland) side of the coaches' path. Be sure to bring your own bike.

Spectator bikes:  Spectators are welcome to bring their own bikes to utilize throughout this beautiful facility.  All public areas are accessible, except only coaches are allowed on the Coaches' Ride Along Path on the western shoreline.  There is a secondary path which is available to Spectators slightly west of the Coaches' Path.

Trailers: Requested to not arrive prior to noon the day before races begin (unless otherwise approved by SANCA) please contact Sarah Kupiec- [email protected] for coordination.

Friday practice: race course will be open 3:30 pm until 6:30 pm.
