Directions to Van Cortlandt Park:
* From New Jersey/Pennsylvania: Take the NJ Tpk (I95) to the George Washington Bridge and exit on to the Henry Hudson Parkway North (upstate, Westchester), then follow ***
* From Manhattan: Westside Highway to the Henry Hudson Parkway North, then follow ***
* From Connecticut: Take I95 south ALMOST to The George Washington Bridge and take the Henry Hudson Parkway North (upstate, Westchester) (i.e. you enter Manhattan, and get off I95 the last exit in Manhattan, before crossing the GWB), then follow ***.
***: Go over the bridge over the Harlem River (leaving Manhattan, now entering The Bronx) ($2 toll) and take exit 23 (Broadway). Turn right, (south) onto Broadway. You will see many pitches on your left. We will be playing on one of the pitches at the southern end of the park. (If you pass the Burger King, turn around and park).
* From Westchester/Upstate NY: Sawmill Parkway south to Henry Hudson Parkway South, exit 23 (Broadway) will set you down at the ground. Turn left onto Broadway and you will be going south, we will be playing on one of the southern most pitches. If you turn right onto Broadway, you will see one pitch on your right. This is the "Stable Field". We sometimes play here. You can take the next right (Mosholu Ave) and park behind the ground if we are indeed playing here.
* Subway: Take the 1/9 line all the way to the end of the line and walk about 200 meters to the South end of Van Cortlandt Park.
Alternate Route: If you are driving from Manhattan, Connecticut or New Jersey you can also take the Major Deegan (route I87) North from I95. From Connecticut you get to I87 just before you would enter Manhattan. From New Jersey, you stay on I95 after the GWB and take the first exit upon leaving Manhattan (on to I87). From Manhattan, take the Westside highway but get on to the Cross Bronx (I95) North then I87 north. Take I87 north to Van Cortlandt Park South. Stay right and follow the exit around and over the highway, through the 1st light then swing right again, at the flashing light, onto Broadway. The grounds are just ahead on the right. (Note that this route puts you down at the other end of the ground to the route mentioned above.)
