PARKING:

We encourage everyone to CARPOOL because parking is limited!!! Please read where you can/can't park if the Boneyard parking lot is full:

*You are welcome to park in the Houston Highway Credit Union lot next door, but please be respectful of our neighbors. Only park in designated parking spaces and do not create your own spot. Anyone who parks inappropriately (anywhere other than a designated parking spot) in the credit union lot will be told to leave. NO EXCEPTIONS.

*You can park on the street opposite Boneyard, but if you do, make sure your vehicle is completely off of the roadway. Any overhang onto the street and you will be towed.

*You can park in the business center on the other side of the credit union. Again, only park in designated parking spaces. Good Paws Drool Bus will be SHUTTLING people and their dogs from this location and back all night!

*You can park on either side of the street next to Motorcars on the opposite side of Washington, but please be careful crossing the street!
