HERITAGE PARK PARKING RULES

August 13, 2008
 

Dear Parents, Players, Coaches and Spectators:
 

By now you are well aware of the parking issues at Heritage Phase II fields. The Junior Football League of Westerville and the City would like your cooperation in controlling the situation.

If an injury were to occur that required Emergency Medical attention, it would be extremely difficult to bring Emergency vehicles back to the fields. We must keep the access road and non-marked areas clear of vehicle traffic. While we know that it may be inconvenient to park a little further away, we must have the safety of the players be our primary concern.

Here are some suggestions that may alleviate some of the gridlock:

• Try to carpool if at all possible. When four cars per player come to the games, it doesn’t take long for the spaces to fill. There are approximately 120 marked spaces, which is 60 per field. We are above the National standard in this regard.
   
• If you must bring more than one vehicle per player, leave a little earlier and use the Sports Complex or Community Center as an alternate location. Everal Barn and Homestead is not an option on September 9, 16 and 23 as there are paid rentals at that facility that require parking for those events.
   
• Listen to the Special Duty Police officer, League officials and Westerville Parks and Recreation Department personnel. They are there to assist with the situation. There is no reason for them to receive abuse from parents, spectators or players.
   
• After your game, please leave the Park as soon as possible. If you are having a meeting or snack afterwards, think about having it over at the Sports Complex or Community center lots.

We realize we may never achieve an ideal situation with regards to parking, but with your assistance we will make it through the season. The Junior Football League of Westerville and the Westerville Parks and Recreation Department would like to continue to partner in bringing quality youth football to the residents of Westerville.
