If you’re planning any on-water activities out of Hamilton Creek Sailboat Marina this Memorial Day weekend, you need to be aware that access will be extremely tedious and parking probably impossible. The Music City BMX event is expected to draw 10,000 people into Hamilton Creek Park — some already arriving today, with ramp-up to peak May 28-30. See the picture below of the sign posted by Metro Parks. Ingress/egress will be extremely slow because cars will be parked on roadsides as well as in all parking lots in the entire park area -- and bicyclists will probably be crowding whatever open road space there may be.
