At all other times, the (1) train makes all stops along the line ** By car: Take Henry Hudson Parkway South, bear left and exit at Riverside Drive, continue South on Riverside Drive to 145th Street, turn right to enter the park. PASSENGER CARS AND VANS -- you be permitted to enter the park, go to the unloading zone where you may discharge passengers and you will be given a parking permit and directions to the parking lot underneath the park, reserved for FIRST Competition participant car parking. PARKING – The Parking lot is located underneath the facilities, and the entrance is NOT through Riverside Drive, but through 12th Ave. – To get to the parking lot, you'll have to go back out on to the streets, follow the directions in the map the Park Rangers will give you carefully - we do mean carefully –they are not that easy to follow. Assuming you find your way to the lot (a little dark humor there), park your car, take the elevator or and walk back to the gym, or take any of the FIRST shuttle vans to get back to the site. THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME - perhaps as much as 15 minutes. |
