PUBLIC TRANSIT / BIKE / WALKING
There is a dirt walking path from Alewife Access Road that brings you to the parking lot; be sure not to take the paved bike path (Fitchburg Cutoff Bikepath), as this is the incorrect path.

• Take the Red Line, Bus, or Minuteman Bike Path to the Alewife T Station (You can lock your bike at the station)
• If taking train/bus, follow signs in station for Auto Drop Off/Pick-Up area and exit there; if walking, skip to next step.
• Turn Right (heading North) on Alewife Access Road and continue straight, toward the parking garage overpass.  (If you come to Cambridge Park Drive, you have gone the wrong way out of the station).
• You should be walking against the direction of auto traffic on a one-way street once you pass underneath the parking garage overpass.
• If you end up on Cambridge Park Drive (near the Bertucci’s), you have gone the wrong way.
• Cross to the left side of the street and continue walking.
• The road will cross over Alewife Brook.
• Look for the sign for Alewife Brook Greenway/Cambridge Discovery Park (see picture below)  on the left side of the street, 500 feet after the Parking Garage overpass.
• Be sure not to take the paved Fitchburg Cutoff Bikepath, which is before Alewife Brook. 
• Turn Left onto the dirt walking path, and follow it a few hundred feet to the parking area.
• Once the walking path ends, the parking lot is on the right.
