General Guidelines:

1. Drive Slow – The entire area is a residential area with many people walking and riding bikes – driving slow and being patient is the most important thing we can do to assure the safety of everyone.

2. Don’t Arrive Early – Please do not arrive early to pick up your child. There is not room for idling parked cars, and this only causes more congestion. We have staggered class start and stop times to minimize congestion, but if parents arrive early it creates unnecessary congestion for everyone. If you do arrive early, there is a city parking lot at the intersection of Northome Rd & Minnetonka Blvd that generally has plenty of room and is only a half mile away from Park Ave/Deephaven Beach.

​3. If you don’t have a Deephaven Parking Sticker, do not park in any parking spots. You will be ticketed and it will cause problems with non-sailing residents trying to use the spots (tickets will be issued even if you are in your car). Unfortunately, we do not control parking restrictions and have no power over the City of Deephaven’s rules and enforcement practices.

4. If you have sailors in different classes, work later, would like your sailor to have more time at LMSS, or need some extra time in the day for yourself, consider Island Time, our early dropoff/late pickup program. This can be added to your registration on Active.

5. Evening/adult classes: please park EAST of Deephaven Ave on Park Ave or Lake Ave. For more information and a parking map, please see the below image.

​

Please have your students ready for drop off, and do not idle or park for an extended period of time. You must sign your Rec and Learn to Race sailors in at drop-off and sign them out at pick-up. This is for the safety of all sailors to ensure they are being picked up by appropriate adults and are not leaving on their own. If there is a change to preferred appropriate adults doing pick-up, please let us know at [email protected]. Staff will meet your sailors at this location and walk sailors to the pontoon when most of the class has arrived, so please stay at your assigned drop-off location. Please do not walk to a different location.

​

Pick Up – ALL sailors will be picked up at the same location as their morning drop-off location. Staff will walk your sailors down to the beach for pick-up if that is their spot, so please stay at their assigned pick-up location.
