George Fox community, we are aware that parking on the east side of campus (near Villa Road) is challenging, and that it may seem like the best option to park across the street, rather than walk from a farther distance.
Please be aware that our neighbors are tired of having driveways and mailboxes blocked as well as difficulty seeing clear enough to pull out onto Villa Road. The Newberg-Dundee Police Department is patrolling, and if you are found parked illegally you may receive a fine of $115.
Please be respectful of our neighbors when parking. Morse lot, near the softball field, is an alternate lot you may park at. Thank you for your understanding.
Due to city of Newberg exploratory work, the sidewalk and the upper entrance of Wheeler on the west side will be closed this Monday, Sept. 25, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
