INTRODUCTION 60 Choosing a Practice Area A well-marked parking lot is the best practice area. Be aware, however, of oil left by parked cars. Look for parking lots that are not used all the time at shopping centers, schools, churches or community centers. For instance, you might use a school lot in the evening hours, or a shopping center early in the morning. Once you’ve selected a suitable location, it’s important to gain permission from the owner. Keep this basic parking lot diagram in mind when setting up the exercises. If the parking lot you choose doesn’t have lines, use the dimensions diagrammed here. Mark them using a tape measure and chalk. Traffic is your greatest concern. Make sure you check to the front, sides and rear before doing an exercise. Also, make sure you watch out for children and animals and be considerate of others in the area.
