Directions via subway- Take the 1 subway north to the end (242 St); if you can, get on the first (front) car of the train. You can also take the A train to 168 st and transfer to the 1. Once you get off the subway walk north about 1/4 mile and you will see the park on the right side. Just look for others kicking a footy around. We typically practice in the southwest area of the park, but sometimes need to move a little further in so keep your eyes open. From 14th st, the train can take from 45-75 minutes, depending on various subway factors. Maintenance work on the subway occurs most weekends – check the Service Advisories before you travel!
Directions via car- If you’re driving, take either the Deegan (I-87) or the Saw Mill/Henry Hudson Parkway. If you’re taking the Deegan, get off at the Van Cortland Park exit. At the exit ramp, head west and then make your first right on to Broadway – the park is about a quarter of a mile up on the right. If you are taking the Saw Mill, get off at the Broadway/Route 9 exit and head south about a quarter of a mile – the park is on your left.
Gear- Bring cleats/boots as well as a ball if you have one.
