The field complex is located just past the intersection of Old Union Turnpike & Lunenburg Road (RT 70). The field complex is best reached by connecting with Route 2. All of the major interstates (I-95, I-495 and I-190) intersect with Route 2. Please check a map to determine the best interstate to use to connect with Route 2. Please note: Mapping websites do not give accurate directions to our complex. Exit 34 is 6 exits past RT 495 heading west on Route 2
Exit 34 is less than 1/4 of a mile from the entrance to Route 2 once you leave Route 190 (it is just past the eye care building).
DO NOT STOP ALONG ROUTE 70 TO DISCHARGE OR PICK UP PASSENGERS. Please note: Mapping websites and many GPS units do not give accurate directions to our complex. The post office recently renumbered our location, so many devices do not accurately map "512 Old Union Turnpike." For your reference, maps.yahoo.com works if you use our old address: 2444 Old Union Turnpike. Most of the other mapping websites do not work at all. Your safest route is to follow the directions on this page! Remember the entrance to parking for the fields is on Old Union Turnpike, NOT Lunenburg Road (Rte 70). Top
