Rains is surrounded by parking lots.
You're allowed to park in any of the lots closest to Rains and in the parallel parking along Bowdoin marked Residence. If you park anywhere else, you will be ticketed mercilessly. Do not park anything motorized on the lawn, under an archway, next to your door, on a sidewalk, or in a disabled access spot. Aside from creating a fire hazard, ruining the sprinkler system, or generally causing you danger to yourself or others, you will get a ticket so big your children will be paying it off. Drive slowly and cautiously in all Rains parking lots, since some of our Escondido Village neighbors have children and there are speed bumps which will destroy the bottom of your car if you're not careful.
