Parking Information for High School Graduation
Springdale patrons and families attending graduation ceremonies on May 19, 2012 for Springdale High School and Har-Ber High School should be aware that due to construction there will be no vehicular access to parking lots 45 and 59 at the University of Arkansas, but pedestrian access will be open for north and south movement. We would suggest using lots 46, 47, and 56 as the most convenient parking areas for entry to Bud Walton Arena.
We also advise arriving early because of the possibility of traffic congestion. Bentonville High School graduation takes place in the morning so there will be BHS traffic leaving when SHS families arrive. There will also be SHS traffic leaving when HBHS families arrive.
