 The
goals of PSRA’s parking system are two-fold:
- Address the needs of the athletes, coaches, and
families participating in PSRA sponsored regattas.
- Address the concerns of the Philadelphia Police
Department and Fairmount Park Commission regarding legal
parking and traffic jams on Kelly Drive.
A portion of the passes will be allocated to regatta
staff, referees, and permanent volunteers (those who
agree to volunteer EVERY week).
The remaining passes have been allocated to the PSRA
permanent and associate member school in proportion to
the size of each program. Each program has been notified
of the number of passes available to them.
Diagonal Parking is permitted on the river side of the
drive only.
Do not park on the grass.
Do not park on the opposite side of the drive.
Do not parallel park.
Do not leave your car parked on Kelly Drive beyond one hour after the last race.
All of these actions will result in parking tickets or
towing of your vehicle.
In order to continue the long-standing tradition of parent involvement in local high school regattas, the PSRA has contracted for additional parking, available in Fairmount Park by following the Kelly Drive detour. Monitored parking will cost $12 per day.
PSRA has contracted with a bus company to provide a shuttle from the parking lots to the Canoe Club and the Grand Stands. Buses are anticipated to run every 15-25 minutes (depending on traffic) from approximately 8 a.m. until sometime after the last race.
Handicapped Parking: Spaces are reserved for those cars with handicapped tags near the Grandstands. A handicapped vehicle must have BOTH a PSRA parking pass and a handicapped tag to enter the Drive.
Who does NOT need a pass:
- Boat trailers and the towing vehicle
- School buses – must park south of the Columbia
Bridge
- School vans – must park south of the Columbia
Bridge
Trailers towed to a race with food stuffs, tents
etc will only be admitted to the event if pulled by
a vehicle with a pass. Two parking passes will be
needed for these food trailers and their towing
vehicles because they take up two parking spaces.
Buses should drop rowers off and then proceed up to
paid parking where they can park at no charge or park on the non-river side of the drive past Columbia Bridge. All
boat trailers must be parked in the Gillin Boathouse
lot near Strawberry Mansion Bridge. Volunteers will
be there to assist in the parking.
