a. The Quarry Amphitheater is an open space that is open to the public from sunrise to sunset. Reserved events have priority over non-scheduled gatherings inside the Quarry Amphitheater property. Reservation requests can be made at the website www.quarryamphitheater.com.
b. College courtyards may be used when not already reserved, subject to reasonable restrictions imposed by College Student Life staff.
c. The large grassy area between the “University of California Santa Cruz” sign and the Granary and Stone House buildings near the intersection of High Street and Coolidge Drive may be used when not already reserved, subject to reasonable restrictions.
d. The Quarry Plaza may be used when it has not been reserved, subject to reasonable restrictions.
e. Other areas of the campus (e.g., lawns, patios, plazas) open to the public that are at least 100 feet from the entrances/exits of campus buildings and parking lots, and that are also a safe distance from the curbing of campus roads. All activity in open public areas must be conducted in such a way that does not disturb classes, vehicular and pedestrian traffic is not impeded and normal instruction, research, and administrative activities are not disrupted.
