Directions & Parking

Approximately 1 hour from Crystal Lake

Bus Parking and Athlete Loading:

When you arrive, you may use the athlete drop-off lane on the South side of 55th Street. The North side of 55th Street will be reserved for bus parking only. There is no parking allowed on Western Ave. You may not use the parking lot attached to Gage Park; it is reserved for CTC staff. 

General Parking:

Lot 2, the athlete and spectator parking area, is located at Gage Park High School, located at 5630 S. Rockwell St. This area will be open between 8 am and 4 am. You must vacate the area by 4 pm.  Please do not park in the driving school lot located directly next to Lot 2; your vehicle will be towed. Please consult the signs and Traffic Marshalls or CTC staff for guidance. 

Additional Parking: 

Due to the size of Lot 2, there may be a limited number of parking spots available. We recommend utilizing the additional street parking on W. 57th St. and S. Rockwell St. Please remember that this is a residential area. Be mindful not to block driveways, sidewalks, or entrances, and follow all posted signage. Your cooperation helps us maintain a positive relationship with our neighbors. In the event of snow, vans and buses will also be directed to this additional parking area.

Parking to Venue:

Please keep in mind that buses are the only vehicles allowed to park across the street from Gage Park. The athlete and spectator parking area (Lot 2) is less than a 10-minute walk away. Don't forget to bundle up and factor in your walking time!
