THINGS TO KNOW
Fans driving along Edwin O Reiger Memorial Highway will see the Vancouver Lake Rowing Club before they get to the park. They need to continue past the rowing club until they reach the park entrance, where they will see a parking booth to pay. Make a right at the entrance with the booth to enter the park. Trying to enter (or leave) the park via non-designated entrances will result in flat tires, as there are tire spikes in place.
