DIRECTIONS
The community does not allow street parking, and if you violate there are some grinches who have nothing better to do on a Saturday but call the tow truck. It’s unfortunate, but in approximately 10 minutes your day may not be so merry + bright - so, please review arrival info below.
While the gate systems have been broken for a few months, as luck would have it they just fixed the two main entrances, marked “1” (Valhalla Pond entrance) and “2” (Robert Toll entrance) on the attached map.
There is a call box at each of the main entrances. Please do the following: 1) Select “Phone call”
2) Select “Find a name”
3) Type “Sinko” and it will call either of us to open the gate.
In the meantime if you see someone going in, just follow them in.Your destination is the black star - 4823 Barnstead Dr. There are areas of parking in the green rectangle - you can park in any spot, they are more restrictive on residents. Obviously the gold filled green rectangle is the closest, but who knows what will or won’t be available.
