RACE DAY PARKING
Very Important - Read Carefully!
Very Important - Read Carefully!
- With the redevelopment of Paradise Valley Mall well under way, the parking situation will be substantially different from previous years. We greatly appreciate the project Developer allowing us access to the property and accordingly, we must all follow specific guidelines to enter, park and exit the property.
- The existing Parking Structure located on the north side of the development, is immediately south the the Phoenix Public Library. It will accomodate all of the event parking needs. Access to this structure will be readily available but with antiticpated traffic, please be patient entering and leaving the facility. The Parking Structure is less than 100 yards from the Staging Area.
- In order to access the Parking Structure, you must use Paradise Village Parkway, entering and heading north from Cactus Road. Follow the "Event Parking" signs and instructions of the traffic guards. For specific directions to the Parking Structure, see the map below.
- There will also be limited parking on the surface lot, adjacent to the Sears Service Center, just west of Tatum Blvd. Enter from Tatum and proceed north on the access road to the lot.
