Parking Information for Divisionals
The Ridgewood Barracudas home pool is:
Ridgewood Pool 12350 Oakwood Drive, Woodbridge, VA 22192
No cars are allowed to drive up to the pool. All equipment and tents must be unloaded and pulled up the sidewalk to the pool. There will be a “lane” to load and unload tents (see map below).
Each team will be provided 4 spaces for parking. Most other parking in the pool lot is reserved.
There is no parking along Old Bridge Road or in the grassy area under the power lines. Violators may be towed or ticketed.
Visitors can park along Oakwood Drive and along the side streets. If anyone parks beyond the "no parking here to corner" signs on Oakwood Dr., they are at a very high risk of being ticketed. Please be respectful of the local residents when parking on community roads. No parking in front of driveways or mailboxes and please be aware of the noise levels as you are arriving in the morning (slamming car doors, loud music, and raised voices).
We have 6 handicap spaces available. Please note that we are not able to “reserve” handicap parking. It is available on a first come, first serve basis.
