Parking at the George Pocock Memorial Rowing Center
PARKING OVERVIEW
PRC members, youth athletes, and staff are welcome to park in the Triangle Parking Lot (image below). The lot is a 3-minute walk from the boathouse.
The George Pocock Rowing Foundation and the Pocock Rowing Center pay for the costs associated with leasing and operating the parking lot.
General Notes
Parking is intended for use by athletes while rowing or staff while working.
Independent patrol staff issue tickets to unauthorized vehicles.
Parking passes will be issued by Feb 15.
40 Spaces in "The Triangle" between Harvard Ave E and Eastlake Ave E are fully available to members.
Parking Alternatives:
There are numerous benefits to both the environment and our community in all of these alternatives to driving to the boathouse:
Carpooling to PRC reduces traffic and builds community. Team meeting points can reduce the burden of carpools.
Riding a bike is a great way to get to the PRC and get a warm-up as well.
There are a number of rideshare apps to explore.
King County Metro can be an option for many of our daytime users. Over 50% of some regional youth teams take the bus to and from practice.
More information about the Triangle Lot:
The George Pocock Rowing Foundation has formed an LLC with Eastlake Community Service Partners (ECSP) to secure parking for our clients and members. These spaces are shared by the George Pocock Rowing Foundation, MoveMend, Seattle Spine and Sports Medicine, and Wallace-Solhaug Dentistry. ECSP also rents parking spaces to other users to help defray the expense of securing and operating the parking lot.
The Triangle Parking Lot is leased from WSDOT while their contractors complete the "Rest of the West" SR 520 project.
“It is hard to make the boat go as fast as you want to. The enemy, of course, is the resistance of the water, as you have to displace the amount of water equal to the weight of the men and equipment, but that very water is what supports you and that very enemy is your friend. So is life: the very problems you must overcome also support you and make you stronger in overcoming them.”
