Please join us for a winter orienteering meet at Gold Branch on Sunday, February 4. There will be white, yellow, orange, brown, green and red courses available. We will start at the clearing at the edge of the parking lot.
The CRNRA requests parking only in marked parking spaces. Large buses must load and unload at the park entrance due to lack of turn around space.
Parking is very limited at this park, so please plan to carpool if possible. School buses should drop students off at the park entrance; do not enter the park driveway as there is no turn around for buses. Please do not park in the adjacent neighborhoods or along Lower Roswell Road. The best overflow parking is on Willeo Drive north of the park.
