Passenger Drop-Off
To help event-goers with blankets, coolers, and young children, drivers may drop off passengers and gear close to the park by entering Nixon Park Drive across from the entrance to Mason Intermediate School. The drop-off area is on Foxfield Drive adjacent to Lou Eves Municipal Pool and will be available until 10:15 p.m. Drivers must stay in their cars at the drop-off area. Nixon Park Drive will be closed at 10:15 p.m. and will be one way, out only, after the fireworks. Due to the pedestrian traffic after the event, we regret that there will be no pickup available at this location.
