The Venetian Pool has 83 parking spaces, 15 are "head in" spaces near the pool, 2 are parallel spaces near the pool, and the remaining 66 are "head in" spaces across the street from the pool. Both of the parallel spaces near the pool have been designated as reserved for persons with disabilities, but both would require someone who uses a wheelchair to transfer in or out of the car while the wheelchair sat in a traffic lane instead of an appropriate access aisle. The parallel spaces near the pool were reportedly provided so that persons who use wheelchairs would not have to navigate across the street from the remote lot.
