Where to Park on Meet & Practice Days

Street parking around Northside Swimming Pool & Splash Pad fills up quickly. Please follow the map below — park only in the marked green areas along Bess St and part of Howard St, and avoid the red no-parking zones near the pool entrance so we can keep the drive clear for drop-off and emergency access.
