For the second season, you can park for a good cause at a Pensacola Blue Wahoos game.
The Community Maritime Park Associates and the City of Pensacola Parks and Recreation Department announced details for the Volunteer Parking Program.
The effort helps nonprofits fundraise by providing parking to fans at one of the Wahoos' 14, five-game stands this summer.
