Parking: our main lot is Parking Lot C. Westfield Police and volunteers will be helping designate the spaces. Please folow their guidelines for parking. Once the lot is full, we request that you go to the secondary parking lot. Failure to park in a designated space will lead to ticketing or tow; subject to the car owner’s expense. There is no cost for parking. 

Primary Parking Lot: C
Secondary Parking: Lot G

There will be shuttling services provided by Charter Up

Shuttling will begin at 8:30 and will only pertain to parking lot G. Shuttling will occur from the Grand Park Blvd, and drop off and pick up will be on North Drive (the drive towards 191, and in front of the building doors 19/20). Individuals using this service will need to enter from the main doors of the building.

If you choose not to shuttle walking from these lots will take 10 minutes or so. There is no charge to shuttle tomorrow and once lots are full, cones will be placed, indicating closure. Drop off to the lots will also occur at the conclusion of salat. Please be mindful as to which lot you parked in and there will be no shuttling for Lot C.
