One more reminder: No parking again today for U.S. Open at Rose Tree Park

One more reminder: No parking again today at Rose Tree Park

The good news for people trying to get to Merion Golf Club for for the U.S. Open is that the second off-site parking lot at Rose Tree Park is expected to reopen tomorrow.

Unfortunately, that won't help much today. Rose Tree remains closed. You have to drive down to PPL Park in Chester and then take the bus back to Merion. And it's suggested you get there early. Yesterday the PPL Park lot was packed.

Your best bet remains SEPTA. Drive to 69th Street and then take the Norristown Hi-Speed Line, which has a stop almost right at the country club. Regional rail also will get you there.

The plan now is for Rose Tree to reopen tomorrow. But the problem with that is that heavy rain is expected to move back into the region tomorrow. The reason they stopped parking at Rose Tree is because most of the cars are parking in the fields, not on the paved surface of the lot. Those fields have been turned to a sea of mud by traffic and cars. The fear is that a lot of cars would not be able to get out of all that slop. They might end up shutting down again tomorrow if the monsoons move in again.
