Parking info: There's a lot of street parking near Sparky Park, especially on Tom Green, 34th, and 35th streets. We're guests of the neighborhood, so please be thoughtful - don't block people's driveways, and spread cars throughout the neighborhood so each resident still has room to park in front of their house. Thank you!
