My advice is to pay close attention to your surroundings. This attraction is not the safest area.
[Yvette Pryor, 06/04/2021]It was sad that there was no sign or acknowledgement of this being Otis Redding. The area was very run down.

No parking at this location. Try parking across the street and walking the trail to get to it.
