Directions to Field
Game Fields 2007 (Alternate/Practice Field info below):
   Riverside Park in Pennypack Park in Fairmount Park
** 2nd Alternate Field (Chamounix) Directions - below and to the right

You want to get to near Rhawn and State Rd. in the Northeast, just near Holmesburg Prison.  From where you are, check I-95, the Roosevelt Boulevard or other arteries.

- Just south of Rhawn on State Rd looking East, there is an
   access sign to the field, about 50-100 yds south of Rhawn.
- there should be a big blue sign that says, “Riverview Home Adult    Services”
- The access road looks like a road for the Riverview Home Adult     Services or for Holmesburg Prison.
- take this road and go about 1 mile and you should come to the
   field.

A couple of notes:
1 – coming South on State Rd , if you hit Fluke’s Irish Pub,
      you’ve gone too far
2 – coming North on State Rd , if you hit Rhawn, you’ve gone
      too far.
3 – the access road can be difficult to spot.  We’ll try to get some       kind of marker up, but keep in mind it does look like an
      access road to the prison or the adult services home.
4 – on the West side of State Rd. – opposite the access road
      entrance – are a couple stores: Frankford Umbrella and York
      A/C and Heating (to help landmark it).
