Where can I park?
‍Sports Complex (1650 Oakdale Ave) - Parking lots off Wentworth Ave. and Oakdale Ave. have a combined total of about 175 parking stalls. Additionally, our neighbors at Crawford Door and Beissel Window and Siding (1641 & 1635 Oakdale Ave.) allow parking in their front lots during our events at this site.

Harmon Park (230 Bernard St. W) - About half of the parking lot off Bernard St. W is available for parking. Additionally, Heritage Middle School (121 Butler Ave. W) parking lot is available for event attendees to use.

Parking is also permitted on nearby neighborhood streets where allowed. Please be respectful of residents, follow all posted parking regulations, and avoid blocking driveways or access points.
