In an effort to maximize the amount of space for citizens to set up an area to picnic and gather, there will be some changes to the parking at Lake Ponca for the 4th of July this year.

The grassy area directly across from the swim beach will have a limited amount of space for cars to park, and will be first come, first served, no reserving spots. The paved parking along the beach will be reserved for handicapped parking and mobile food vendors.

Once those areas, and the other parking areas are full, the overflow parking will be on the east side of L.A. Cann, north of the Sailboat Marina. The attached map shows the areas described.
