You may bring in pool toys, food and drinks for your event. You may also bring your own canopy/tent.

Parking

Your guests can park in the parking lot in front of the Student Recreation Center or in the lot below the pool by the pump room (once on Jaguar Blvd, go to four-way stop and turn left rather than making a U-turn.) Parking is also available in the gravel lot off of Old Shell Road before you get to Jaguar Blvd. Please note that this lot is not available during USA baseball games and parking may be difficult during special events at the Mitchell Center.
