After you pass the first traffic light, watch for the Tastee Freez on your right and turn right on the street at the end of their parking lot.  Take the first left.  This takes you into the park where you will have to turn right onto the park drive.  Follow the park drive to the bandstand area. (At the "Y" in the road stay to the left.) Parking is allowed on both sides of the road for concerts. Lawn chairs are suggested.

In the event that construction on West Beverley has this way blocked, turn left at the first light on Grubert Avenue, go up the hill and take the first right on 3rd street.  Follow this to Circle Drive and turn left.  This brings you out on Thornrose Avenue. Turn left on Thornrose and proceed to the park as above.
