I am not sure if this applies to us, but I know many, myself included, like to go cruising a little during the day and this rule would certainly put a damper on that if we have no spot to come back to.
I want to thank you and whomever else helped in lining up this parking, because it is a great spot, and I do not want to seem ungrateful, but for $35, we should be able to come and go as we please IMHO.

Let me know your thoughts.
John,
I understand your concern with staying parked on Saturday until you are ready to leave for the day and not having the freedom to come and go to allow cruising Woodward.

I called and spoke to the person who this was arranged with and I was told that the restriction on coming and going from the park on Saturday is primarily due to the volume of pedestrians present in the park on the day of the Dream Cruise.

Memorial Park is a prime piece of property to have access to and we all will have VIP passes to allow us exclusive seating on the bleachers right on Woodward Ave for viewing the cars as they pass by.

I agree some like to leave and cruise but we had to agree to the restrictions to have access to this prime parking location this year.
There are no restrictions for coming and going on Friday since the volume of pedestrian traffic is lower.

As far as the $35 fee for parking....most spots directly along Woodward ave go for $100 or more especially at 13 mile rd.
