PLEASE READ:

The food court of Riverbank State Park is a public space to be used by everyone who attends Riverbank State Park. Chess players, parents and coaches please limit your time in the food court to 20 minutes after receiving your food. Riverbank State Park and the Food Court are supportive of chess players providing excellent food at reasonable prices, despite the high costs they pay to rent the space. Do not take advantage of their generosity, by overstaying your welcome in the food court.

Also, the hallway outside the playing area is severely limited. Please limit your space to leaning/sitting against the wall. The walkway should be free of blankets, strollers, and children sprawled on the floor. Hopefully the weather will soon provide ample sitting space outside at the many picnic tables and other great opportunities.
