Parking Information for the St. Charles North Invitational
Saturday, October 4th, 2014
Coaches and athletic directors: Please forward this information to your spectators.
For the upcoming St. Charles North Invitational there will be a variety of parking options. Please read the following options carefully. Leroy Oaks is in the midst of being reconfigured so we are still learning from a previous invitational (the Leavey Invite) and still working with the Forest Preserve District, the police, and the fire department to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
Busses
Busses will be allowed to drop off teams near the barn and depart or park in the Nature Center of Leroy Oakes. If there is a potential for inclement weather, please plan to have your bus stay close and have a way to communicate with your driver.
