Public parking is available at the parking entrance on Admiralty Way, just East of Palawan, right next to the Jamaica Bay Inn. If you mention K4K to the parking attendant, parking should be $1.00 per car, per the LA Board of Supervisors. Or you can park on Palawan Avenue across from Mother’s Beach. Parking is $6.00.

The weekend classes can accommodate a maximum of 30 students (ages 9-13) per class. Students should dress for the water, YOU WILL GET WET! Bring extra towels and wear rubber-soled shoes (water shoes) to protect your feet in and out of the water and on the boat (a selection of water shoes is available on site). A light jacket is also suggested as it can sometimes be a bit chilly on the water.
