Another Planet Entertainment and Superfly Presents, in association with San Francisco’s Recreation and Park Department and the City of San Francisco are producing the 3rd Annual Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival in Golden Gate Park (Polo Field, Speedway, Marx & Lindley Meadows) on Saturday, August 14th & Sunday, August 15th, 2010.  This concert event helps benefit Golden Gate Park with a considerable portion of ticket sales going directly to Rec & Park.

We are committed to mitigating the impact of the event in your neighborhood and this letter is to help serve purpose to that commitment.

Community Hotline:
Again this year, we will have a Community Hotline to respond to any issues that may affect you during the festival.  The festival hotline will be available from 10:00am – 11:00PM on the festival days.
The hotline number is 415-752-2098.

Alternative Means of Transportation:
To help alleviate vehicle congestion in your neighborhood, we are strongly encouraging patrons to take alternative means of transportation to the festival, including MUNI, Bauers shuttles, biking or walking.

Tow Trucks/Parking Control Officers:
We will have 2 dedicated tow trucks and 1 Parking Control Officer on each side of the Park to quickly respond to any blocked driveways or any other parking issues related to the Festival.

Road Closures:
We would like to make you aware of the following road closures due to the event, so that you may plan accordingly.  The following entrances will be closed to the public from Friday, August 13thth at 8:00PM through Sunday, August 15th at 11:00pm:

On north side of the park:

* Transverse Dr at Crossover Dr
* JFK Dr at Transverse Dr
* 30th Ave

* The Great Hwy at JFK Dr.

On the south side:

* Martin Luther King Jr Dr at Crossover Dr
* 25th Ave
* 41st Ave (Chain of Lakes)
* Martin Luther King Jr Dr at Lincoln Ave

Fencing Schedule:
The Fencing schedule is designed to close inaccessible park areas first, leaving trails and meadows open to the public as long as possible. The determination to close areas of the park is based on security and safety concerns for both the public and working personnel.

Perimeter Fencing:
Perimeter Fencing around Middle Drive, Martin Luther King Dr, Chain of Lakes Dr, John F Kennedy Dr and Transverse Dr will begin going up at 8:00am Saturday, August 7.  All access points to trails and paths will remain open until Wednesday, August 18 at 6:00am. At that time only working personnel will be able to enter the Festival site.

Polo Field:
The Fencing will begin going up around the perimeter of the Polo Field on Saturday, August 7 at 8:00am. We expect the fencing to be completed by the end of that day.  At that point we will close the playing field and the lower paved track to the public. The upper track will remain open and all normal access points into the area will remain open through dusk on Sunday, August 8.

Beginning Monday, August 9 at 6:00am we will close the west portion of the upper track. We will keep an open path for the public to traverse between Little Speedway and Speedway Meadows using the paths behind the upper track on the north and south sides of the Polo Field.

From Tuesday, August 10 at 8:00pm until Tuesday, August 17 at 8:00pm, all of the Polo Field facilities will be closed to the public. This measure ensures the safety and security of both the public and working crews.

Speedway Meadow and Lindley Meadow:
Fencing will begin going up in Speedway and Lindley Meadows on Tuesday, August 10 at 8:00am. There will be large breaks in the fence to allow public access to Speedway Meadow until Tuesday, August 10 at 8:00am and to Lindley Meadow until Wednesday, August 11 at 6:00am.

Lindley Meadow will open back up to the public on Monday, August 16 at 8:00PM and Speedway Meadow will open on Wednesday, September 18 at 8:00am.
