### 📍 Where We’re Meeting

We’ll gather at the main playground at Barnes Park at 4:00 PM so the kids can warm up and play before the 0–3 hunt starts at 4:30 PM. I’ll bring a mat and try to grab a shady spot as much as possible.

### 🚗 Parking at Barnes Park

Barnes Park is located at:
📍 350 S. McPherrin Ave, Monterey Park
Parking options:

• Main parking lot off S. McPherrin Ave
• Additional parking lot near the Barnes Gym
• Street parking along McPherrin Ave and surrounding residential streets

Events like this can get busy, so I recommend arriving a little early to find parking. If the main lot fills up, street parking is usually available within a short walk.
