Driveway Safety Guidelines

Ensure safe, respectful use of the property.

  • Drive no faster than 10 mph anywhere on the property.
  • The driveway is single-lane; if you meet another vehicle, be prepared to carefully reverse to allow passing.
  • Remain patient and courteous with other drivers.
  • Watch closely for children, pedestrians, volunteers, and visitors.
  • Stay on the driveway at all times — no driving or parking on the grass.
  • Park only in designated areas or where directed by staff.

Respecting the Property

LIBH is a unique community space where people gather to steward the land, grow food, learn, and connect with nature. We are guests on this property. Please help us care for the land so MyKingstonKids can continue offering programs here.

Thank you for partnering with us to create a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for all families. We look forward to seeing your child at karate!
