Hamvention does not have any public parking immediately at HARA Arena; however, it has been our desire and policy for many, many years to help accommodate those individuals with special needs. We are very sensitive to those needs and have gone well beyond all regulations to secure (at extra cost to Hamvention) a limited number of spaces for these needs. Unfortunately the demand for ADA/Handicapped parking continues to grow dramatically each year and we simply are unable to accommodate everyone who requests a space. Therefore, as in past years we require you send in a copy of your State Issued ADA Parking Certificate, along with a SASE and we will process your requests in the order of which they are received. Please Remember: There are a very limited number of "Reserved" ADA/Handicapped parking spaces available so get your requests in early. Also, we have set aside (20) "Reserved" ADA Parking spaces for those individuals who are unaware of/or choose not to follow our instructions and register early. Please understand if you choose to wait and just come to the show the probability that you will find no ADA/Handicapped spaces available is extremely high.

Again, we STRONGLY urge you to send in your request early and in advance of the show. The parking fees remain the same as last year: $8.00/day per car and $25.00/day for campers and etc. payable at the gate. (Please note: overnight campers and etc. are not permitted at Hara Arena)

Hamvention ADA Parking Permits …

A limited number of ADA Parking permits are available for 2007.  If you have special requirements, such as a wide space for a lift, please indicate your need when requesting an ADA parking permit.

Do not send payment with your application. Oversized vehicles of any type may be restricted to where, how, and if, they may park. 

Pre-registration is required. Please send the following information:

1. Your name, call sign, and address.
2. Which days you will be using the Parking Permit.
3. We need your daytime,evening, and weekend phone numbers.
4. A copy of your State ADA Parking Permit or a Doctor's statement. If you had a Hamvention® ADA parking permit last year, you need only send your 2006 permit. We will not accept a photo of an automobile handicap license plate, without proof of ownership of the plate such as a copy of the registration slip. 
5. A # 10 self-addressed stamped envelope to:
   
   ADA Parking
   P. O. Box 1446
   Dayton, OH 45401-1446

Please note new P.O. Box number to speed response.

Please do not send payment with your application.  We hope to have all the ADA parking tickets mailed prior to April 1, 2007, providing we have them in house by March 27, 2007. Any requests after that date, we will hold your pass for pick-up at the ADA Parking Lot.

Please check back here frequently for updates. As soon as we have information, we will post it here.
