- Do not park in the unmarked gravel areas adjacent to the Willow Street Pump Station
- Parking is available in pay lots across the street from and just north of the Willow Street Pump Station. This will likely be your best option.
- There are parking meters along San Jacinto and the side streets, as well as in a lot at the intersection of Main, Wood, and Gerard. Please note that meters are only free AFTER 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays. So, if you park at a meter for the workshops, you will have to pay.
