PARKING:  For Trailers: Arrive anytime after noon on Friday.  There will be a Circus show at 7pm, and their patrons start arriving around 5pm so getting the trailer to the park before then would be advisable.  There will be space on-island for the tow vehicles, and passes will be provided at the time you check in.  The park opens at 6am on Saturday and Sunday, so it is possible to come then, but races start at 8am, and it could be congested.

For Cars: Parking fee is $10/car.  Due to the Circus, parking for both participants and spectators has to be off-island,  near the new Mote Acquarium (under construction) to the northwest of the island and by the Homewood Suites hotel (both in easy walking distance).  There will be signage at both locations.  The Homewood lot is approached when heading south on N. Cattleman Rd just before turning east towards the finish tower; the Mote lot is accessed when heading NW on N. Cattleman Rd, just past the playground area (at the finish line) of the Park. 

Here is a map showing the location of the lots.

Further Parking Information:  There is no formal crosswalk from the north side of Cattleman Road (where the Mote parking is located) to the south side where you can walk to the course.  It would be best to walk up the slight hill until you are opposite the tower and can see traffic coming in both directions, before crossing.  Alternatively, the Homewood Suites field is already on the south side of Cattleman Road, so no crossing is needed.
