Parking

updated parking for festivals

This is the updated parking map for the Spring Festival. Parking is available at floors 3–8 of Beard Parking Garage and the GeoPark. There will be a BullRunner stop at Beard Garage that will move between Beard Garage and the Gardens. We will no longer have golf cart services to vehicles. Instead, there will be a pick-up/loading area outside the front gates where vehicles can be loaded.
