They have this restriction to keep the traffic volume to a minimum and keep the park safe for all the people on foot admiring the cars.
The park has 25 acres of cars parked in it by 10:00am

On Friday you are allowed to come and go as you wish.
I was just about to ask what is offered to someone who will be by for only a few hours? I was hoping to stop by the park a little while then do some cruising around.

With all of heavy rain reported recently in the area of the Woodward dream Cruise I made a couple of calls.
I contacted the event organizers today and they told me that Memorial Park is dry and will be open for cars to park this weekend.
I was also told that Woodward Avenue is open for cruising
Spoke with Rapps today too
She has talked with the Royal Oak DPW/Rec. and they also confirmed Memorial Park is open and ready for the show

Looking forward to seeing everyone again this year

Gary

All Detroit freeways now open. Travel safely into Michigan and bring a sweatshirt - temps in the 50s at night.

If any Dream Cruise attendees are here early, a few of us are getting together Thurs night at The Moose Preserve around 6ish. PM me if you can make it....

Good times with great people

I cancelled at the last moment, wish I had come now. The weather was not too promising in Detroit by the forecast, but it was great there and terrible here. Also I was going to have to drive down on my own and then PitMarshal said they were leaving Friday instead of Saturday, but I had just cancelled.

I did go the last three years so ..........
