FYI:
I was down at Jones Beach yesterday and Field 5 (the parking lot at the stadium) is closed...the entrance was blocked off and I'm not sure what they'll do for concert day. I have a feeling that they might open it a few hrs before show time. Looks like we'll have to plan for Field 4!

Thats weird that the parking field for Zachs would be closed. I know once the summer is over they usually will keep that lot closed. Did you happen to notice if there were cones up in the parking lot as the MTA uses that lot on occasion for driving tests for the buses. I'm hoping it was a one day thing.

Update taken from the Jones Beach State Park website..
Seasons/Hours:
Open year round. Please note that the East Bathhouse swimming pool will be closed for the 2009 season. The West End ocean swimming beach will also be closed for the season. Zach's Bay swimming area will be open for Memorial Day then open daily for the season on June 27-August 16th. Field 1 will be open Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, May 23rd and 24th. It will also be open the week of the U.S. Open, June 15-21st and on July 4th from 2pm-8pm.
I wonder if they will open early for the concert being they know they will get a crowd.

Due to budget cuts, Zachs Bay itself is closed--it closed last week! There were big white sawhorses blocking the entrance with a big sign saying CLOSED.

I am wondering if the state will open that lot then, if they have it open then they have to have life guards on duty and so on unless they just put up signs saying beach closed, no lifeguards on duty. It may have to be that the party is in a different lot. That sucks.
Update: I have shot an email to the State Parks office to see if they could provide the parking lot information for that day, I will let you all know what I find out

I will be in Jones Beach early. (in case anyone was wondering) I will post as soon as I have info on the parking situation. I don't see the parking @ Zach's Bay being closed for long, even if the beach isn't open. I've talked to the Park Police in previous years and they know what's coming...And are very liberal. Except for Red cups. Don't forget your
blue cups!!

Oh, I read it. But the person in charge is not usually the guy in the lot. There's nobody in sight, except for seagulls, when we arrive.
