Parking

updated parking for festivals

This is the updated parking map for the Spring Festival. Parking is available at floors 3鈥�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.
