Parking for the Sunrise Service
Please note the following changes related to parking for the Sunrise service at Memphis Botanic Garden, due to the recent renovation of The Links at Audubon golf course:
- The main Botanic Garden parking lot (entrance on Cherry) will be open and filled first.
- Parking is also available in the lot by the lake and Cancer Survivors Park to then walk to entrance C. This parking may be accessed most easily from Perkins and should also be able to be accessed from Cherry Road for easy drop off at entrance C before parking.
- A minivan shuttle will run from the parking lot off Perkins to entrance C—the path will be lit.
- Parking is NOT allowed on the roadside of Cherry (per city signs) or in the former field, now a driving range.
- Handicap permits are required to park in the spaces reserved for handicap parking in both the main Botanic Garden parking lot and near entrance c. Thank you for serving these important members of our church family and visitors by adhering to these parking restrictions.
Rain Plan: If it is raining, we will still host the service, but it will be moved indoors to Hardin Hall.
