Directions For All Workdays
Volunteers cannot drive beyond the regular entrance parking lot when the Park is open to the public (between the hours of 10 AM-5 PM, every day except Monday). When the Park is open, we must use the gate at the end of Siward Dr. at Ridgewood Dr. (near the Car Barn).

IMPORTANT:
: the gate is kept locked, so you must contact the project manager BEFORE the work day so he can arrange to let you in. See the contact information shown on each workday announcement.

From I-880:
Take I-880 to the Dumbarton Freeway/Route 84 West toward the Dumbarton Bridge. Exit at Newark Blvd/Ardenwood Blvd and turn right onto Ardenwood Blvd. Continue 1 mile (past the Ardenwood entrance) and turn right onto Paseo Padre Pkwy at the traffic signal. Continue 1 mile on Paseo Padre Pkwy and turn right at the traffic signal onto Siward Dr ( just before the I-880 overpass). The gate into the Park is at the end of Siward Dr at Ridgewood Dr. Once you enter the gate, proceed on the gravel road toward the left and park your vehicle at the Car Barn.

From Highway 101 on the Peninsula:
Take Highway 101 to Route 84 East over the Dumbarton Bridge. Exit at Newark Boulevard/Ardenwood Blvd and turn left onto Ardenwood Blvd. Continue 1 mile (past the Ardenwood entrance) and turn right onto Paseo Padre Pkwy at the traffic signal. Continue 1 mile on Paseo Padre Pkwy and turn right at the traffic signal onto Siward Dr ( just before the I-880 overpass). The gate into the Park is at the end of Siward Dr. at Ridgewood Dr. Once you enter the gate, proceed on the gravel road toward the left and park your vehicle at the Car Barn.

When parking at the car barn on Sundays Park on the side of the car barn to keep the cars out of the train ride's sight.  On all days it is recommended to not park under the trees to avoid having a branch land on your vehicle.
