The 81st Annual Stotesbury Cup Regatta
May 18 and 19, 2007

Parking Guidelines
Parking along Kelly Drive is restricted during the regatta. Most parking will be on the plateau above, $8 per vehicle. The Regatta provides free shuttle bus service from the parking areas to the venue and back again. There is also a well-maintained, family-friendly walking path thru the woods down to Kelly Drive and the regatta venue.

  1. During the regatta, Kelly Drive will be closed to the general public from the start line to just below the Athlete's Village. Access to this area (which has a one-way traffic pattern, southbound from the Canoe Club) is limited to those with a Regatta Parking Pass.

  2. Parking passes will be distributed to coaches in limited numbers at registration on Thursday afternoon at Lloyd Hall (1 for the smallest programs, 5 or 6 for the very large programs). Those with Regatta Parking Pass will be allowed to parking diagonally on Kelly Drive. Those without a Regatta Parking Pass will be directed to Regatta Parking on the plateau above Kelly Drive. Each school should plan to distribute their allocated parking passes to vehicles bringing food into the venue.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. For those who would rather walk than wait for a shuttle bus, Ormiston Trail takes you from the parking on the plateau thru the woods down to the regatta venue. The 1/4 mile trail is in very good condition and suitable for young children and adults. Look for the balloons that mark the head of the trail at Reservoir Drive and Randolph Drive.

  6. Parking on the grass on either side of Kelly Drive 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.

  7. School buses should parallel park along the river side curb beyond Columbia Bridge at the finish line.

  8. Cars and vans should park diagonally at the river side curb.

  9. Parking is permitted in the lot near the grandstands. The lot at the Canoe Club is reserved for volunteers and officials.
