- Enter through the main gate off Euclid, then make a left into the first parking lot on your left (Lot PA). Follow that lot to the next section and you’ll spot our cheerful set-up near the playground.

- Clean, open restrooms are available near the start line.

Parking Info

Fee: Parking is $7.00 per car and yes — the rangers absolutely know you’re supposed to pay. Don’t test them… they’ve got ranger senses stronger than Santa’s sleigh radar.

Payment Methods

You can pay cash or credit at the gate, but if you want to keep the line moving and avoid getting side-eyed by a ranger in a festive hat… bring cash. It’s faster, easier, and keeps the jingle in your step.
