- Parking: If you drive, leave extra time to find a spot. The small lot and driveways facing 23rd Avenue fill up early, so consider street spaces on 25th Avenue adjacent to the football field, and on East Alder Street, just south of the main (red brick) building. Learn more on our Transportation page.
