PARKING (from meet director): Any spectator vehicles that are not carpooling with three or more people will need to park at Curtis High School (8425 40th St. W, University Place WA) and take a 7-minute shuttle bus to the course (running from 7:30am until 5pm). There will be NO TEAM OR SPECTATOR ACCESS through the Chambers Bay Golf Course entrance. All team vehicles and carpooling spectator vehicles will park in the gravel lot just north of the start area or in the lot south of the course. Entrance to this parking area is not through the main entrance to Chambers Bay Golf Course, instead it is via an access road down the hill on Chambers Creek Road near the Chambers Creek Wastewater Plant. The address that directs you to the access road is 10298 Chambers Creek Road West, University Place, WA 98466. Team buses, team vans, and carpooling spectators will all enter on this route. Team buses will turn right just before entering into the gravel parking lot to park in the large paved area south of the main spectator parking lot. If/when this lot fills up, other buses will need to do a drop off and pick up. Please share with your bus drivers. Below is a map of the parking area for your information: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ski5c7U9ZpDreMzenXaMXIwNS-xsY4U_/view?usp=sharing
The only vehicles allowed to enter the park through the main public entrance are those dropping off athletes (and not parking) and vehicles with ADA parking permits. These vehicles should enter Chambers Creek Park via the main entrance by the golf course and ADA vehicles should park in the ADA spots closest to the park.
Please share this with your team families. They will not know this information unless you tell them. Please also encourage them to arrive early to give themselves enough time to find parking and ride the shuttle. Electronic signage and volunteers at the top and bottom of Chambers Creek Road will communicate the parking expectations, but it is very important that you share this information with your teams and families so we don’t have a lot of people caught by surprise.
WHAT TO BRING: Water bottle, towel, and an extra change of clothes for after the race if you feel it is necessary.
Restrooms (port-a-potties) will be available at the venue.
DINNER: We have a large group reservation at Grazier Restaurant (Italian) on Saturday at 6pm - arrive no later than 5:45pm. Please RSVP to Joy Jiras’s post on SportsYou if you and/or your family/child can join us.
