uhmm one question about lake elizabeth: which entrance?

I think there's an opening along stevensons blvd where there are less people and there's an open field, but it's next to a police station... so yeah.

the more popular entrance is along paseo padre. I'm not sure, but I think the parking is smaller there.

I'll go there tomorrow and report back with pictures and stuff if you guys want.

I do have a Euro R bodykit, JDM tail lights, JDM pedals, JDM Euro R grill, JDM fogs, JDM Honda badges front and rear, JDM dipstick, Rotora slotted front and rear rotors, Rotora H2 ceramic pads, Mugen license bolts, LED conversion interior and exterior, and JDM dipstick. Thats about it for now I will be taking some photos of my car since I haven't taken any since I originally just installed the Euro R bodykit with Acura badges and nothing else. I got alot of new parts and will be taking some pix hopefully before and at the meet as well.

kaliraver69: dang thats alot of mods... haha cant wait to see your car.. ill have some questions regarding the Euro R kit installation for you at the meet =)

turoneatingpinoy: I dont really understand the "hostility" among a-zine and the "other" tsx forum, and therefore I dunno if its appropriate or not.. however I am aware that some members from here are also members on the "other" forum so if they are aware of this event, all are welcome

Also, since I put on my new wheels, I have my all curbed and scratched up OEM wheels sitting at home.. I was bored today and went to Kragen's to get a bunch of stuff, attempting to do a repair on the old ones.. the results are AWESOME.. this is something I can provide at the meet (if anyone wants to repair their curbed OEM wheels that is)

yea, there are a few entrance to Lake Elizabeth. However the best entrance and best parking lot is the one in the back of the Lake. It is huge and it has access to the BBQ pits and view of the lake.

Directions are take Paseo Padre Ave. in Fremont all the way down passed Stevenson Blvd (Fremont Library), keep going until you run pass a railroad crossing then make a U-turn at the next stoplight after the railroad tracks. Then after your U-turn, keep going until you see a semi-hidden entrance on your right which leads you to the back of the park where our meet should be at.

Okay! i've taken some photos, and I'm in the process of uploading them. I found three sites that I thought was worth looking into. I was looking for bbq, parking spaces, and distance from parking space to bbq place. And whether or not they have shade at the tables.

Here's a prelude for now...

my photobucket keeps resizing my pictures, so I'm looking for a better hosting site.

halfway done with the first batch, but just noticed there's a sign in my pictures that says reserved... maybe I can go ask the park if we could reserve a place. Hope there's no cost or it's minimal!

I've uploaded it on Flickr. Here's the link:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/83885819@N00/sets/

Read the comments I made for my reasoning. Determine yourself which one you like. Everything in there is my opinion. I haven't been there in a long time (6 years), so I don't know what the conditions are like at different times of the day or different day in general.

I didn't drive my tsx because it was almost out of gas
(BTW, tsx is a huge upgrade from the corolla. I was driving it and was wondering why it didn't seem like it's moving)

Couple more things; If you're turning onto Stevensons from Mission Blvd, there might be trains running across. I was misfortunate enough to run into one after I finished exploring


^ picture of the police station along Stevensons. Be careful there because it's only 35mph. I know we like to get foot heavy in our TSX's

I did my own Euro R bodykit install if anyone needs help installing there kit I would be able to help out. It actually is really easy to install the hardest part is probably the front bumper (well atleast for the Euro R because of the JDM fogs and removing bumper.

Yeah but from what I've noticed from reading the bay area threads over there . . . not many TSX guys respond over there . . . so in a way I'm thinking moving it there will just attract other Acuras . . . I mean I was one of the few TSX's at the Acurazine meet in April and a bunch of them didn't notice I was there and I only saw 2 TSX's other than myself . . . so I dunno . . . it's up to you guys . . .

yea i feel that. i mean right now we got like 3-4 ppl confirmed and i think we can get more over there. i wouldn't mind other Acuras showing up...CLs, TLs, tegs, etc. this meet is like a meet and greet kind of thing and i guess meets wid more ppl are the best ones.

Hmm . . . granted . . . I'm still waiting on responses from my non TSX friends to see if they want to come . . . but the main thing I'm worried about is if us TSX guys get outnumbered despite this supposedly being a TSX meet . . . I mean I'm all up for other cars . . . it's just I'm hoping that more TSX guys try to show up . . .

wsup fellas, i went to lake elizabeth todae to take some pics and show you guys how the park looks like. Enjoy the pics and the captions hahah....

pigs will be pigs


if you are goin on Paseo Padre Pkway, you will pass this street. (thorough directions on the bottom of this page)


Lake Elizabeth Park will be on your left


OK, THIS IS THE ENTRANCE WE WILL BE ENTERING IN


yu cannot bust a left into that entrance, you gotta go straight pass this street


keep on going pass Grimmer St., pass these annoying babies....


first stop light after the railroad is Gomes St. Bust a bitch on Gomes St.
yur gunna pass the same railroad tracks again


stay on the right lane and you are goin make a RIGHT at this place (its the first entrance on the right)


follow the road to the back of the park and yu will find this parking lot



palm trees!


plenty of BBQ pits and scenery!



the LAKE!



So there you go, a lil slideshow of the park. Park itself is really big, parking is plentiful, scenery is great, hella ducks too. entrance might be a lil confusing, so i think we should have a sign or sumthing saying "Turn in here for TSX meet". or have someone near the entrance and flag folks down.

Directions:

From North: Take 880 south, exit Stevenson Blvd. Make a left off the freeway onto Stevenson Blvd. Make a right on Paseo Padre. Make a U-turn on Gomes St. Enter the park entrance on the right.

From the South: Take 880 north, exit Stevenson Blvd. Make a right off the freeway onto Stevenson Blvd. Make a right on Paseo Padre. Make a U-turn on Gomes St. Enter the park entrance on the right.

Hope this helps, let's make this a great meet.

Great job, da chinese.. thanks for your time for taking these pics. What time were you at the park? It seems like the parking lot is not that packed at all, which is a plus for our meet. I will not be able to move this thread, only Azine moderators can Oh, and by the way hopefully your bodykit will get here before the meet.. there are several members who will be able to help you out! peace
