Parking a Car
Plan to park and ride a bit. Pier Ave and Hermosa Ave are blocked early. The parking structure at 13th and Hermosa Ave may have lots of spaces because it’s hard to get to, but take the first one you find. For the parking structure, come in from the north down Artesia turns into Gould Ave, turn left on Hermosa Ave, and right on 13th Street.
