vehicles only park in designated legal parking lots or stalls. Parking or driving on fields,
medians, sidewalks, bike lanes, paths, or other unauthorized areas inside the park are
strictly prohibited. The Co-Sponsor Groups will control the parking at the facilities they
occupy to conduct their programs. For example:
(a) Countryside Sports Complex: Parking is not permitted along the right-of-way
on McMullen Booth Road. Additionally, vehicles may not park in the swale
between the sidewalk and the right-of-way. Groups using this venue will help
promote good neighbor cooperation with Chi Chi's Golf Course by ensuring that
Chi Chi's parking is not encroached upon.

Hillcrest Ave., South Turner St., or South Evergreen Ave.

parking lot during school hours.

associated with their activities will not drive on the maintenance/emergency
access road befinreen the turF multi-purpose fields. Additionally, no vehicles are
permitted to park next to the baseball fields.

(g) Vehicles/trailers are not permitted inside any of the facilities nor on any turf
surface without prior written approval from the Athletics Office.
Failure of the Co-Sponsor Group to control the parking at any of these facilities during
their activities could result in the Athletics Office assigning the number of games, game
start times, and the number of fields that can be in use at each facility to ensure
compliance with the parking restrictions at each site. Non-compliance with the assigned
game schedule will result in the loss of privileges at that facility.
