VIKING IMPORTANT PARKING FEE: Athletes, parents and spectators need to exercise common courtesy and REQUIRED to pay the $7 parking fee regardless of status (unless they own a local regional parks pass).

VIKING EVENT PARKING SPECIFICS (please plan accordingly): There are two entrances into Spring Lake park. The Newanga park entrance is reserved for team buses, coaches with a large amount of equipment and carpools of athletes numbering (6) or more. We often have long traffic lines backed up for a half a mile or more, so please plan to arrive early and DO NOT use the Newanga entrance as a single athlete drop-off site. Local teams, smaller carpools and spectators are again requested to park at the Violetti park entrance. The park has credit card kiosks at each entrance to process parking fees and issue parking permits. Please DO NOT turn left at the Newanga entrance to attempt to park at the boat ramp. The boat ramp is only reserved for park users with boats and Montgomery XC staff and volunteers.    -If you are conducting a single athlete drop-off, DO NOT USE the Newanga entrance. Single athlete drop-offs can only be conducted at the Howarth Park entrance or at the bottom of the dam on Montgomery Drive. Athletes will then need to walk a half a mile into the park from either drop-off site.
