FNLL Families

    As we begin our summer All-Star season, just a friendly reminder regarding the parking rules related to Melville Park.  When attending a practice or game at Melville #1, we kindly ask that you park on the downward side of the Melville Drive.  If you are attempting to park on the upward slope of the hill we kindly ask that you please stop by the last house before the park.  There is absolutely NO PARKING on the uphill side of Melville Drive from the start of the park to the stop sign and the Garden Drive / Greenlwan Drive intersection.  Of course we as a league try to work with the local community so we ask that you please be cognizant of the neighbors and do not block any driveways.   In addition, there is also NO PARKING over the curb onto the lawn on the uphill side as well as entering the park with your vehicle and parking inside the park.   For coaches scheduling games with other towns, we kindly ask that you please pass along these parking rules so our opponents do not park illegally and potentially receive tickets from the local police. 

For families who are attending games or practices at Melville #2, we would kindly ask that you do not park on Melville Drive but use the Marian Road entrance form Fairfield Woods and park on either Mirian or Littlebrook Road.  This will provide you direct access to Melville #2 and provide parking to our teams using Melville #1.  Of course, we would also ask that you respect the neighbors on this dead-end road and please refrain from blocking the driveway of all home owners.
