The Santa Maria Recreation and Parks Department is notifying the community of temporary parking impacts at the Abel Maldonado Community Youth Center and Paul Nelson Aquatic Center, 600 S. McClelland St.
The impacts are due to a solar panel installation project and the Downtown Fridays event.
The solar panel project, now underway, will continue through June 6. During this time, parking availability at the facility will be limited.
Downtown Fridays will take place each Friday through Sept. 25. A portion of McClelland Street will be closed from Boone Street to the Natural History Museum each Friday, 2-10 p.m., which may increase traffic in the surrounding area.
The combined impacts may result in reduced parking availability and increased traffic for those attending programs, activities, and reservations at the facility. Participants are encouraged to arrive early or allow additional time for their scheduled activities.
Alternative parking options include:
• Rear parking lot behind the Abel Maldonado Community Youth Center.
• Street parking in surrounding areas.
• Public library parking lot.
Direct questions to the Recreation and Parks Department, 805-925-0951 ext. 2260.
