Partial Parking Lot Closures

To accommodate our bike summer campers, our parking lot will be partially closed on Monday, July 21st, and Monday, July 28th.

You can still enter and exit the parking lot from

NE Broadway.

We appreciate your understanding. Blocking off part of the parking lot allows our campers to practice being safe and responsible cyclists on public roads.
