Gardens' Congress Park Neighbors
Do you have your parking permit? It is important for all Gardens' York Street neighbors to have a current parking permit during our Summer Concert Series, Blossoms of Light and for other certain special events to avoid getting a ticket.
Information about how to get your FREE parking permit, including a map of the residential parking permit district, will be posted here by April.
