Amphitheater parking adjusted

By Johnny Edwards

The managers of south Fulton's Wolf Creek Amphitheater have reconfigured its parking plan. When New Edition performed in May, some cars took 30 minutes to an hour to reach the venue from Camp Creek Parkway, and fans grumbled about long hikes from overflow lots and a $20 parking price.

For an upcoming jazz festival Aug. 4 and an R&B show Labor Day weekend, both the Merk Road and Enon Road entrances will be open, and shuttles will run between the amphitheater and an overflow lot near the transfer station. Parking will cost $10 per vehicle. After the New Edition show, similar changes were made in time for an Erykah Badu concert the next day.
