PARKING GUIDELINES FOR RALIA SPORTS CENTER

UPS Distribution Center (our neighbors to the west)

The UPS facility is a ‘High Security’ distribution center. DO NOT park anywhere on their property. They do not want any vehicles on their property that does not belong to a UPS employee. If you do park on their property, then you will be at risk of your vehicle being towed at YOUR expense, along with a parking violation ticket.

Recycling Company (our neighbors to the north)

The Recycling facility is a fenced property. There is a locked gate in the driveway with a sign that says, DO NOT PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY. YOU WILL BE TOWED. If you ignore the sign and park in the driveway, then you will be at risk of your vehicle being towed at YOUR expense, along with a parking violation ticket.

Pipe Fabricating Company (our neighbors to the south)

The Pipe Fabricating allows you to park your vehicle in their parking lot as long as you do NOT park in the driveway or next to a trailer (the trailers are usually picked up on weekends).

Valley Forge Street Parking

You can park your vehicle on either side of the street as long as you stay 20 feet from a FIRE HYDRANT as well as the corner of a driveway or a stop sign. If you park illegally, then you will be at risk of your vehicle being towed at YOUR expense, along with a parking violation ticket.

Ralia Sports Center

You can park your vehicle in a parking stall in the front of the building, or on the south side of the building, or in the back of the building. If you park your vehicle next to a ‘NO PARKING FIRE LANE’ sign, then you are at risk of receiving a ticket from the Maple Grove Police when they periodically patrol the parking lot.

For parking behind the building:

1. Park within the designated areas
2. Observe and follow the one-way signs
3. Do not park along the chain linked fence on the north side of the lot
4. Be courteous and park next to the car on either side of yours. (There will not be lines on the ground)

For on-street parking, please minimize the space between you and the car in front or behind you so that as many cars as possible can park on the street.

When you are able, we highly recommend carpooling!
