The race course is located entirely on the Central Ball Fields. Coming from Highway 44 (64/40 is under construction) you enter the park from Hampton via the Hampton Ave. exit. Turn right on Wells Dr. and continue on Wells until you hit the fields. There is parking around the entire perimeter of the fields as well as on the nearby upper Muny parking lot.
