Transportation:
- Street parking is available.
Road Construction--Plan on extra time to arrive! - Streets in the Kenwood neighborhood that are affected:
- 21st St W
- 24th St W (PSart)
- Sheridan Ave S (south of 21st)
Parking suggestion: if you’re coming from the north on Kenwood Parkway to Sheridan, and you can either park on Thomas or Sheridan (circled in yellow on the map) north of 21st St and walk down. Please plan on extra time to get to the beach, especially if it's a nice weekend as warmer days are busier days at the beach. It might be easiest to arrive by bike if you are able!
It sounds like as of 5/5, the roads were not completely closed but were one-ways--but don’t count on being able to use them as that status can change at any moment.

SAUNA COOPERATIVE CODE
The Sauna Cooperative Code has been identified to ensure that all guests have an enjoyable sauna and can be immersed in the health benefits of the activity, and can be summarized as follows:
At the 612 Sauna Co-op, our intention is to support a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive space to enjoy the health and community benefits of sauna.
We are aware of ourselves, each other, and our surroundings to ensure a safe environment for all sauna guests. We are aware of our own health and safety, and we are also aware of the health of other guests.
We and our guests believe that everyone is equally worthy of love, respect, and dignity. We believe that differences of race, age, culture, religion, politics, sexual orientation, gender, gender variance, body shapes and sizes, nationalities, (and beyond) are simply part of being human and all are welcome here.
In short, we endeavor to treat each other as a family—one that loves and respects each other. Thank you for helping us create a safe and comfortable space for all.
SAUNA TIPS
Please arrive hydrated so you can enjoy the full benefits of your time on the bench.
Sauna promotes healthy blood flow by activation of the thermoregulatory system. Practicing full “rounds” will provide the full health benefits. A round consists of 10-20 mins in the hot room (your body will tell you when your time is up), followed by a cool-down period outside. Letting your body cool down between rounds by relaxing and cooling off at the rinse station will increase your circulation and provide the full physical and mental benefit of the experience. A typical sauna session consists of 3-4 rounds of this hot-cold treatment.
