 Parking Guidelines: 

 As visitors attend SJN meetings at Temple Chai, we need to be aware that there is very limited parking on the temple grounds.  It is recommended that SJN event attendees plan to park on the streets: Marilyn or Acoma.  The spaces available at the temple are on the Marilyn Road side of the complex.  Any ”reserved” spots need to be left available for staff.  No parking spaces are available in the back of the complex.

When entering from Marilyn Road, approach the property from the eastern most driveways at the “Temple Chai Entrance” sign, and then exit onto Acoma. Follow painted arrows for traffic flow direction. Keep the speed low and watch for pedestrians, including school children, crossing the parking lot.
