Parking
We always recommend taking Capitol Metro or riding your bicycle, but most of us drive, so parking options:
Directly next to the park and along the river all the way to IH35 you will find a number of parking lots for the park. Just past the park next to the Ball Fields you will find parking. You will also find parking at Martin Middle School just a few blocks to the west. Regardless if you park in a parking lot or on the street, please read all parking signage to avoid being ticketed or towed.
