(print directions)

 

To the Glen Road Entrance:
Orange Line to Green Street stop, exit out front doors of station and walk right on Green Street. Cross Amory Street at the light, stay straight, cross Washington Street at the light (Green becomes Glen Road), continue up the hill past houses till Glen Road dead ends in the park. Walk into the park along wide, grassy strip, bear to left and you’ll see beginning of the Overlook stone ruins and further along White Stadium. Bear to the right to go to the Elma Lewis Playhouse in the Park, back entrance of the Zoo, the Playstead for sports and the festivals, Circuit Drive-the main park road (just to the right after you get to the road you will see Valley Gates Parking Lot - gathering spot for volunteer days), and the golf course walking loop that leads to the Golf Clubhouse, Shattuck Hospital, and Scarboro Pond.

To Circuit Drive (the main road through the park):
Click here for schedules and stops along the route for the #16 bus that runs between the Andrew T stop on the Red Line (through Uphams Corner and along Columbia Road) and Forest Hills Station on the Orange Line. It runs every 10-35 minutes and stops at the main park entrance on Blue Hill Avenue (by the front of the Zoo and close to the Golf Clubhouse). Inside the park it stops midway along the park road at Valley Gates Parking Lot (for Playhouse in the Park and park volunteer days) and the fork leading to the back entrance of the Zoo. It also stops across from the Shattuck Hospital. The MBTA website has more information and maps.

Click on the Bus number for schedules and stops: #22, #29, #44 stop here

Other buses go around the perimeter of the park, coming from different directions: #31, #14, #29, #42, #44.

From the Commuter Rail:
Take commuter trains to Back Bay or North Station. From there take the Orange Line Subway Train to Forest Hills Station. Board the #16 bus. There is a stop just along our parking lot. Or, you may take a short cab ride from Forest Hills to the golf clubhouse which is about 1 mile.
