Main entry for most visitors: enter through the Valparaiso Avenue Gate (closest to El Camino Real). Follow signs for SHP Parking.
From there, it’s a short walk to the Dunlevie Aquatic Center, located near the rear (southwest corner) of campus, adjacent to the athletic fields.
For large swim meets, overflow parking is typically directed to the Lower & Middle School lot or the parking lot off Park Lane.
Important: The SHS Dunlevie Aquatic Center Parking Lot is unavailable to spectators on both Friday and Saturday. This lot is reserved for permitted team vans and officials only!
Friday: Spectators should park on Park Lane (East direction only – this is the side closest to the pool) and enter through the pedestrian side gate marked with balloons. The Dunlevie Aquatic Center is located across from the soccer field.
