Parking:
We are requesting both the Seals team and our visitors avoid parking on the residential streets around the pool (in particular Dedham Lane across Escarpment Blvd). There is NO Parking on Escarpment Blvd
Instead, please park at one of 2 places:
(1) CDC East Preschool CDC East Preschool Parking
(3) Along LaCrosse Ave; east of Escarpment
In addition to parking in the locations requested, we’d like to remind everyone to also please obey all traffic laws for parking, pedestrian crossing, and driving – all with the understanding that we want to ensure a safe environment AND we don’t want any ‘reminders’ from police that we must do so. Finally, we want the Seals and the League to be considered ‘good neighbors’ within Circle C – please be courteous of our neighbors and not block driveways, etc. Thanks in advance for your consideration!
