Note that Parking is a challenge for this field…evidently, parking on Pascack Road is not
allowed, and the road adjacent to the field is a one way ONTO Pascack (can’t turn onto it).
There may be parking in the residential area across Pascack Road from the field, as well as the
Bergen County Y (about a block of two away, but across Pascack Road from the field.
Alternatively, you can come around behind the field by:
- taking the first right past the field (Ridgewood Blvd East) and make your first right
at the top of the hill (onto Jackson Ave)
- make the second right onto Sycamore Lane, and the first right (I think it’s White
Birch Road) and another immediate right onto Wayne Place. Look for places to
park immediately, since though the school will be straight ahead, there’s not much
parking in the school lot or the street next to the school.
