  Some rules that may be different than you are used to:

  •  We are grateful to have the use of these fields for trials in Southern California.
As you know, the fields are few and hard to come by.

•  Do not abuse the park, employees, or the volunteers assisting with the trial.

•  Breaking park rules and/or abusing the volunteers will void your trial entry
and you will be required to leave the premises.
Your trial entry will gladly NOT be refunded and we thank you for your donation.

•  No smoking. No alcohol. No open fires.

•  We ask that you leave the area better than when you arrived.
Please keep the area clean as there are quite a few wild animals lurking about at all times.

•  If you are staying at the trial site: the Park is closed (you are locked in) at night
and you will need to contact Bill Wilder (or designated supervisor) regarding
driving in or out of the Park after hours. Also, remember that there are
coyotes (and other wild animals) living close by. Keep dogs and food in a safe area.
