This is going to sound like a totally stupid question, but do you have a driveway? (I'm not sure what type of home you live in or the property situation; that's why I ask!) You could consider installing a driveway if that is possible (and I know it isn't in some situations, for example if you own a brownstone or townhome/rowhouse) or perhaps you could volunteer to help with the cost/maintenance of the grounds where you have been parking, or help install the gates? Are the gates going to be locked? If so, if allowed to park there, you could offer to hold one of the keys in case there is ever a need to enter (such as emergency) or you could be the "gatekeeper" so to speak, managing it when special events or circumstances arise. It's a thought at least?
