Directions when arriving:
If you are driving to the event, there is street parking along Bayview Ave. You can plug this address into your GPS: 3185 Bayview Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11224. It will leave you right near the closest entrance to where we will be in the park. If you choose to take public transit, it will be about a 15 min walk from the train (Neptune Ave- N,D,F,Q). There is a bus, B36, that will leave you right near the park. I personally recommended downloading the transit app for real time bus/train times.
