Parking:
Public parking is available on Flagstaff Hill, across the street from Phipps Conservatory for $20 per car per day – proceeds directly benefit our charities. Free air-conditioned shuttle buses will take you to the golf course or over to the start/finish line. To get there turn right from Forbes Avenue onto Schenley Drive Extension, just before you reach the Carnegie Museum, and proceed through first light and across the bridge. If you want to use a GPS plug in the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens at One Schenley Park, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. There are parking lots and garages in Oakland and near Carnegie Mellon – but they do not offer free shuttle buses up the hill to Schenley Park. There is no parking available at the Schenley Park golf course clubhouse.
What spectators CAN bring:
Sunscreen, cameras, coolers, picnic baskets, ponchos, blankets, folding chairs, baby strollers. Food and refreshment stands are available if you wish to purchase on-site.
What spectators CAN NOT bring:
Spectators are not permitted to bring pop-up tents (this includes canopies, EZ-Ups or camping tents) or beach umbrellas. As of 2008 these are not permitted as they block views and can become a hazard in windy conditions. Cooking grills are not permitted unless you are an insured sponsor, this includes gas, charcoal and electric. Only PVGP supplied golf carts are allowed on the premises – you are not permitted to bring a personal or rented golf cart. Bicycles are not permitted by the Schenley Park Golf Course because of the damage caused on fairways. Frisbees and footballs or soccer balls are also not permitted because of the risk to spectators and show cars. Absolutely no weapons or fireworks are allowed.
Rest Rooms:
There are 125 portable rest rooms placed throughout the park for your use. There is also a rest room with running water at the Schenley Park Golf Course Clubhouse – although it is very crowded.
Pets:
Due to the large amount of spectators, corporate tents and moving cars we strongly encourage you to not bring dogs to the event. If you choose to bring your dog you must keep it on a leash and you will be responsible for clean-up and subject to a City fine if not disposed of properly.
