No open fires allowed; you may have a campfire if you bring a metal fire pit ring and some wood.
No Alcoholic beverages are allowed in the park.
No smoking, va**ng or Ma*****na usage is allowed in the park.
Quiet time is from 10pm till 7am (ALL GENERATORS MUST BE OFF) (If you have a medical condition requiring the use of a generator all evening, PLEASE let the parking staff know)
Roping off areas or saving spots will not be allowed.
It is your RESPONSIBILITY to maintain your area.
Please put all trash bags along the road for an AM pickup!
NO PARKING along Safford Road or at Equestrian Park (Lockwood Park). Neighbors have complained over the years, and it has become increasingly dangerous to park here. The City of Rockford will ticket and remove vehicles at their own choosing again this year as well.
PERSONAL GOLF CARTS will be ALLOWED with PROOF OF INSURANCE and will REQUIRE A SEPARATE EVENT STICKER ($20 WEEKEND). MOTORIZED / ELECTRIC SCOOTERS, DIRT BIKES, UNI WHEELS, GO KARTS AND OTHER PERSONAL TRANSPORTATION VEHICLES ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED! ANY ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 16 CAUGHT ON A GOLF CART WILL HAVE THEIR PERSONAL CARTS CONFISCATED UNTILL AFTER THE EVENT (NO EXCEPTIONS). We had some serious issues last year and the Park Police will be monitoring this CLOSELY. Simply put, there are just too many scenarios where vehicles and children just DO NOT MIX! Park Police can and will ask you to leave the premises.
PLEASE BE KIND TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD!
ANYONE ARRIVING AFTER HOURS (8PM-6AM) will be ASKED TO WAIT UNTIL THE PARKING OPENS THE FOLLOWING DAY. The last thing we want is to have to wake you at 5am and tell you to relocate. ANY VEHICLE/CAMPER/RV FOUND/TENT CAMPER THIS YEAR WITHOUT APPROPIATE PARKING PASS WILL BE ASKED TO RE-ENTER THE PREMISIS. Parking passes PAY for the shuttle services, port-a-poddies, garbage services, and event staff.
REMEMBER CAMPING IS A PRIVILEDGE, NOT A RIGHT!
ROCKFORD POLICE, PARK DISTRICT POLICE, ALONG WITH PARKING STAFF CAN REMOVE ANYONE FROM THE PARK IF NECESSARY! Don’t be that individual!
We PLAN on having the GOLF CARTS SHUTTLING available again this year for those in need.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE! BE SAFE, BE RESPECTFULL AND ABOVE ALL BE RESPONSIBLE!
