Below are the logistics for day parking on our grounds.

  1. Hours
    • Day parking opens four (4) hours before kickoff.
    • All vehicles must leave within two (2) hours after the game ends.
  2. Availability
    • No advance reservations are permitted in our day parking lots.
    • Spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis to passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks.
    • Spots are sold and allocated only to vehicles on the premises and cannot be purchased in bulk for additional vehicles in your party which may arrive later (so plan to arrive together in a caravan).
    • No trailers, nor buses, nor large recreational vehicles (RVs) are permitted on our grounds.
  3. Cost & Payment
    • $25 per parking spot.
    • Contactless, online payments. NOTE: Mobile phone networks get overloaded on game days and often accessing apps to pay is very slow or doesn’t work.
      • Via QR codes scanned into your smart phone (no apps required).
      • Via Square or PayPal.
    • CASH is quickest and best. Correct change is appreciated, or you can tell the attendant to keep the change to be donated to the Parker PTA!
  4. Day Pass
    • Upon successful payment, our on-site parent volunteers will provide a one-time, one-day, parking day pass to leave in a location visible through your windshield.
