Parking Lot Task Force - This task force met in the month of May to review the parking situation and to formally finalize and document our parking procedures.  Please click Here  to see the written procedure.  In summary, the task force proposed and the board agreed that for this year, no spots will be rented to the general public. With our increase in membership over the years, there has also been an increase in guests and their cars.  In order to best serve our membership, we will limit our parking to our members, guests, and staff.  We will monitor the activity and, if there are lots of unused spaces in the lot, it may make sense to reopen the lot to the general public. We can make that determination mid-season or at any time in the future. 

The parking for all lots will continue to be serviced by our excellent valets to which we are accustomed.  As always, pull all the way into the main lot (being mindful of other cars who will need to pull in behind you) and the valet will park your car in one of our lots.  When you are ready to leave, the valet will retrieve your vehicle.

New for this year - On a trial basis, a guest reservation system for parking will be implemented.  A certain number of spots will be available to be reserved.  The reservation can be made by emailing the manager at parkingreservation@galileebeachclub.com and will be on a first come first serve basis.  To make the reservation, please provide your name, membership number, phone number and estimated time of arrival.  Once the reservation is made, your membership account will be charged whether or not you actually arrive.

As in the past, there will be some days when parking is restricted to members only who have a GBC parking pass.  Those days are generally the weekends of the Fourth of July, Labor Day, and VJ Day.  Reminders of these dates will be communicated throughout the season.  As a reminder, If you are not bringing your car to the beach that day, you can put your GBC parking pass in  your guest's car.  (See Guest section of the policy manual for rules related to guests.)

The new parking lot procedures will be reviewed at the owner's meeting. Please forward any questions and we will be sure to cover them at that time and share that information with the full membership.

Policy Manual - The "parking" section of our policy manual has been updated and posted to the website.  The section providing that valet parking be required for dinner events has been broadened to not only include July 3rd, but also other club events as deemed necessary.  A reminder that the parking availability for guests may be limited or closed on days where we anticipate high beach attendance has been included.  The final revision provides that trailers and other items are not allowed at the club during the season, as we may look to rent the lot as winter storage for those types of vehicles.
