Parking . Directions: Culver Academies is located at 1300 Academy Road- Culver, IN 46511 From the north: IN-17 from the south: IN-117 or IN-17 From the east: IN-10 from the west: IN-10
Again this year:
parking at Culver Community HS (701 School Street – Culver) This is your best chance staying out of the IN-10 traffic backups! Bus shuttle going from 7:30am– 3pm. Park in parking slots on north/east/south side of Culver Community schools – if those slots are full, then park near baseball field or on streets south of school. Bus drivers may also drop team off @ Logansport Gate and then park on streets south of the MS – please save parking slots around the school for fans (it will be a short walk to the front of the school if you wish to shuttle over). Two Culver Community School buses will shuttle and pick up/drop off in front of the high school and at the auditorium area at the Academy (between #5 & #6 on map) all day long (7:30 am-2:45 pm) If you park at Culver Community, come in on IN-17 from the south or north – this will help you out tremendously with traffic backups. Culver Community is 1 mile west of the Academy – it will be a quick shuttle and less traffic problems for you. You will be dropped off/picked up 250 meters from the start line of the cross country course!!! (shuttle drop off on map between buildings #13 & #42) Please do not park along IN-10. Note the “P” notations on the attached campus map. Parking will be very tight as usual, but the early-bird teams get the bus spots behind the Chapel. No bus “drop off & leave” in the area behind the Chapel. If the bus driver desires to leave after dropping off athletes, then follow “B” directions below. A. Bus parking in grass lot north of Chapel (#37)–enter through Main Gate off IN-10 B. If just dropping off team & bus is leaving, or you get in late, travel in from west on Academy Road, drop off team @ Logansport Gate (#14 on map & short walk to check-in area). Driver may then go & eat somewhere or park at Culver Community HS or Woodcraft camp & then move to Chapel parking early afternoon after some teams have departed from that lot. C. If arriving after 8:15 am, plan on significant traffic delays on IN-10 moving into parking locations. The area south of the Chapel will be blocked off for the meet – 1st race 8:40 am. D. Fans may park in: a. handicap parking will be through the Main Gate & in lot north of #38 building (until it is full) b. lots by soccer/tennis (#42, #43) c. a lot at the corner of IN-117 and IN-10 d. in areas on south & north sides of the road near the equestrian facility (#39, #40, #44) e. parking west of baseball field – along Sycamore Road & in lots f. Some parking available on North Terrace (near #21) g. As long as there isn’t too much rain invitational week, we will open up parking on the east end of the parade field in the middle of the course (for those that know the course, near 1k & 4k points and south of the track/football field). So, if you have fans coming in from the east (IN-10) and south (IN-117) the entry to this parking area will be off IN-117 southeast of the track, they can park closer than they would north of IN-10 or in the soccer/tennis parking area. Still, the best bet may be Culver Community MS/HS parking! h. the town of Culver park lot (819 East Lakeshore Drive) & walk east through woods trail (paved) toward campus – about 800 meters from the start of the course
