Parking Arrangements
Parking will be at the Kresge turnaround. This is located adjacent to Kresge Oval and is around a two-minute walk to the Johnson Ice Rink. This is one of the closest parking options, around a 500ft distance away from the rink. Here is a link with the location of the turnaround (https://maps.app.goo.gl/7ePXDztjtVHJ6yZt8).
