"Hopefully that will eliminate any parking frustration," Keith said.

Those driving through the area should be aware that the roads surrounding the park will be closed off around the time of the event. Law enforcement will be in the area enforcing blockades. Those attending the rally can park in the surrounding neighborhood at their own risk, say organizers.
