Program Center Parking Impacts

Parking at the Program Center just east of the building will be closed all day November 4th, 24-26th, to accommodate children participating in School Day Out camps. Members are welcome to park in the lots in front of and behind the building, as well as in the gravel lot west of the building across Oakclaire Dr. We appreciate your flexibility as we make space for our campers’ activities and ensure a safe & fun experience for them.
