Tailgating from vehicles is NOT allowed. All vehicles must park in the main parking lot at Pendergast Park. DO NOT bring campers, 5th wheel trailers or motor homes. They take up too much room and must remain in the parking lot. Do not park along the curb in front of the Soccer Center—this is a fire lane. There is no parking or driving on the grass at Pendergast Park. The parking lane nearest the Soccer Center will be closed for Soccer Center customers. We will mark this area clearly with signs. Only bring cooking equipment that you can easily transport to your picnic area. Cadets are NOT allowed into the parking lot for ANY reason.

Cadets are not allowed in vehicles for any reason at any time. This includes unloading and loading. You packed your vehicle, you will need to unpack your vehicle.

THERE WILL NOT BE ACCESS TO ANY ELECTRICAL POWER AT PENDERGAST PARK. DO NOT DUMP CHARCOAL EMBERS ON THE GROUND, IN TRASH CANS OR IN THE DUMPSTER!! We will designate a metal barrel specifically for disposing of charcoal embers.

We will identify all “off limits” areas at Pendergast Park with yellow caution tape. No vehicles will be allowed behind the Soccer Center building.
