Where?
Directions, courtesy of Google Maps
It is extremely easy to get to the park:
1. Get to I-95
2. Get off exit 18
3. If Northbound take a right, if Southbound take a left
4. Drive straight, but stop before you hit the ocean


Guidelines
This is a laid back show, but there are a few simple rules to ensure we can keep this show going:

• No alcohol is allowed at the park. Sorry!
  
• No hooning
  
• Obey posted speed limit. There's a lot of kids/dogs/geese/animals/DEP officers patrolling/etc.

We all know what not to do...

If you have a tent, make sure you have WEIGHTS to prevent the tent from parachuting all over the show. It is right on the ocean and is very WINDY.

So, I go outside to have a cig break at work.. Look at the water (our building is on the harbor that leads out to the LI-Sound).. and either the hulk was taking a piss, orrr something bad was happening. Shortly after FD shows up, chemical spill team shows up.. Either or, pictures are pretty devastating.
