Parking is available on a first come first served basis at the Lawton and Benson Beaches.
The purchase and display of a parking pass is required to park at MFD parking lots.
If you missed the 3 weekends to receive your beach passes and parking passes,
the next date will be June 13th after the Annual Meeting which can end between 12:00-1:00pm.
