Parking Guidelines:
- Each team will be issued parking passes at registration on Thursday evening. The number of passes will be proportionate with the number of rowers, with very small programs getting one pass and very large programs getting 4 or 5 passes. Each school should plan to distribute the parking passes to vehicles bringing food into the venue.
- Entry to the venue thru the police barricades on Kelly Drive at Strawberry Mansion bridge will be restricted to vehicles with a valid Stotesbury parking pass and school buses. PSRA parking passes will not be honored.
- All other parking will be on the grassy plateau above Kelly Drive. Cost will be $8 per vehicle. The regatta will provide
complimentary shuttle bus service. Four school buses will be in constant rotation.
- Parking on the grass is absolutely forbidden. Parking is only permitted on the river side of Kelly Drive; no parking is permitted on the other side of the road. Violators will be ticketed by the Philadelphia Police.
- School buses should parallel park along the river side curb beyond Columbia Bridge at the finish line.
- Cars and vans should park diagonally at the river side curb.
- Parking is permitted in the lot near the grandstands. The lot at the Canoe Club is reserved for volunteers and officials.
