For those of you who have never visited Spring Lake Park, there is limited space along Montgomery Drive to park for free, otherwise, continue along the road to turn into the park entrance and park at the main lot.  There is somewhat of a hike to get to the meetup point from Montgomery Drive along the Spring Creek Trail. If you don't want to hike, I suggest paying for the lot if you don't have a regional park pass.
