Parking Regulations

Parking at Henson Park Homeowners Association

The parking lot and all parking spaces at Henson Park are part of the common area. Each parking space is owned by the HOA itself. The Parking Regulations (below) exist to insure that residents and their guests enjoy the use of their assigned spaces and any other appropriate parking spaces on the property. The Parking Regulations may be amended by the Henson Park Board of Directors at any time.

Remember:

• You are responsible for your guest's compliance with these regulations.

• Please maintain a safe, slow speed when driving on the property.

• If you have any questions about the Parking Regulations, speak to a Board member before parking your vehicle on the property.

• If you do not agree with these parking regulations there are many on-street parking spaces nearby which you can use as an alternative.

• If you rent your unit you must provide the tenants a copy of these parking regulations.

Parking Regulations

The Henson Park By-Laws provide each unit with the exclusive use of one parking space. Because this was not sufficient for each unit, the members of the Henson Park Homeowners Association voted to provide each unit with the exclusive use of two assigned spaces. The following parking regulations are to insure that residents and their guests enjoy the use of those assigned spaces and any other appropriate parking spaces on the property. The Parking Regulations may be amended by the Henson Park Board of Directors at any time. Remember:

• You are responsible for your guest's compliance with these regulations.

• Please maintain a safe, slow speed when driving on the property.

• If you have any questions about the Parking Regulations, speak to a Board member before parking your vehicle on the property.

These parking regulations were adopted by the Henson Park Homeowners Association Board of Directors in July, 2020, replacing all previous Parking Regulations. All owners of record have received these updated Parking Regulations provided to them by the Henson Park Homeowners Association Board of Directors as part of the Annual Meeting notice for 2020.
