Ward Park is one of the most popular outdoors locations in the City of Winter Park. Because of this, parking can be at a premium on game days and nights.
With 610 players this season, Parking will once again be a challenge. We recommend that you plan your parking based on where your games will take place. The league has 4 parking lots available, plus street parking:
We strongly urge our league families to arrive early for games and practices so that you are not tempted to park in no-parking areas. Also, the board asks that you be a good neighbor in your parking practices. Parking in front of the St. Andrew's Church, or in the lawns of the houses adjacent to Ward Park will not help us in our negotiations with the Church or the City.
These residents and the Church can and will have your vehicle towed. Please help us be good neighbors by treating their yards with the same respect you would our fields.
The spaces in front of St. Andrews Church are for loading and unloading only. Parking here and/or in the Church's driveway may result in your vehicle being towed. We have asked repeatedly for our members' cooperation in parking only where we are supposed to. However, some folks still feel it is ok to park anywhere.
The small area in front of St. Andrew’s Church and adjacent to Field 1 has the closest disabled parking spots to Fields 1, 2 and 5. However the rest of this area is designated as a Load/Unload area ONLY. All cars parked here will be towed.
The Church Parking Lot, driveway, and the grassy areas of their property are strictly forbidden for baseball parking. Violators will be, photographed, displayed on the website, and towed.
Likewise, parking is not allowed on Village Lane, or any other areas of the apartment complex to the east of Ward Park.
The WPPD has stated that they will not go out of their way to ticket cars at WPBR, with one exception. If they receive a complaint, the Police will come to Ward Park and ticket every vehicle that is parked illegally.
The most common complaints come from people whose vehicles are blocked in at the Field 3 Lot and from residents of the neighborhood when their driveways are blocked and/or when people park on their property.
So, if we all just use some common sense, no one has to worry about tickets.
