Restrooms located in football complex.
School registration located in football complex.
Crushed gravel and dirt trail on southern portion of course; both high school and middle school courses are two loops; no concrete on either the high school or middle school course. Because of construction on campus, a Northern loop of the high school course was eliminated, while a loop in the Southern wooded area was added, making the high school course even flatter.
Parking fee of $10 per vehicle. Please use the below site to prepay for parking.
