Parking

Parking is limited to residential streets, thus carpooling is strongly recommended. Street parking is available on Girard (east side of street only) and on Minnehaha Parkway, both south and north or 50th. Students may need to walk 1-2 blocks or be dropped off. There is a small parking lot west of the Parkway which is owned by a local school; GTCYS cars parked there may do so at their own risk knowing that they may be subject to ticketing/towing.
