Getting To the Start
Adams Park in Roslindale Square is inside a triangular rotary formed by the intersections of Washington, Poplar, Corinth, and South Streets. Cummins Highway, coming from the east, dead ends into the park, too. It is about one mile south of the Forest Hills Orange Line MBTA station.
By Bike
From the North: Take the Southwest Corridor or the
Emerald Necklace paths or the Orange Line to Forest Hills, then
follow the Washington St. bike lanes to Roslindale Square.
From
the East: Come through Franklin Park to Forest Hills and
follow the Washington St. bike lanes, or take Cummins Highway from
Mattapan.
From the South: Take Washington St. or
Belgrade Ave. to Roslindale Square.
From the West:
Take Lagrange St. from Brookline to Centre St. in West Roxbury.
Turn left, then take a right on Belgrade just before the rotary,
and follow that to Roslindale Square.

By Car
In Roslindale Square, there is free on-street parking and a
large, free parking lot off Taft Hill Court, right off South St.
From the North: Take the Riverway to the Jamaicaway
to the Arborway and exit at Forest Hills. Turn right at the bottom
of the ramp and proceed straight for about a mile. Washington St.
becomes one-way the opposite way and you will be forced to bear
right. You're there! Look for a parking space and meet us in the
park.
From the West: Take Route 9 to the Hammond Pond
Parkway. Take the second right at the first rotary onto Lagrange
St. and follow it across South Brookline and West Roxbury to
Washington St. Turn left down the hill and continue to Roslindale
Square. If you can't park on the left side of the street, bear
left on South St. and continue to look for parking places. There
is a big lot the next right after you bear left. You can also
follow the West Roxbury Parkway, the third right at the first
rotary, through three more rotaries, then left at the next light
on Belgrade Ave., which leads straight to Roslindale Square. A
right on Corinth St. and a left on Washington get you to Adams
Park.
From the East: Follow Cummins Highway from
Mattapan Square or American Legion Highway straight to Roslindale
Square. Turn right and then bear left and park in any space. The
lot is the next right after you bear left.
From the
South: Take Washington St. all of the way or follow Hyde Park
Ave. to Cummins Highway and take a left on that to the park.
