Casa Field Directions
These fields are used in the Fall seasons. For the spring season, fields are still TBA but will be in the Lexington area. Check back soon for updates. Lexington Christian Academy 48 Bartlett Ave, Lexington, MA 02420 Note! Google maps does not locate the school acccurately… use MapQuest! All matches for Fall 2009, except the special first round playoffs games, will be held at the natural-grass facilities behind the Lexington Christian Academy, in Lexington Massachusetts, just east of the Great Meadow, just north of the Arlington Reservoir, a short bike ride from the Minuteman Bikeway, or a mile walk from downtown Arlington Heights. Parking is available in the lot. Walk over the little footbridge behind the school over the creek and through the woods to find the fields! Driving Directions from Boston Take Route 2 West (Concord Expressway) to the Park Ave Exit (58). Go right on Park Ave at the stoplight. Continue (north) about 1.5 miles on Park Ave through downtown Arlington Heights, crossing over Mass Ave. Once you cross Mass Ave, take the first left (Lowell Ave). The second left is Bartlett Ave. Turn left at the end of the street into LCA (going straight would otherwise dump you into overflow lot). Driving Directions from the North Via I-95 / RT 128 Take I-95 / RT-128 to Exit 32A (Middlesex Turnpike / Lowell St). If coming from the north, turn left onto Lowell Street. Continue for about 3.5 miles and then turn right onto Bartlett Ave. Turn left at the end of the street into LCA (going straight would therwise dump you into overflow lot).' Driving Directions from the South Via I-95 / RT-128 Take I-95 / RT-128 North to Exit 29A (2 East, or Eastbound Concord Turnpike). Take to Park Ave Exit 58. Go left at the end of the ramp. Continue (North) about 1.5 miles on Park Ave through downtown Arlington Heights, crossing over Mass Ave. Once you cross Mass Ave, take the first left (Lowell Ave). The second left is Bartlett Ave. Turn left at the end of the street into LCA (going straight would otherwise dump you into overflow lot). From the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway You can get out of the bikeway at the Park Ave intersection (the bikeway passes under Park Ave). There is an exit in the back of the Gold's Gym parking lot on the East side of Park Ave, or a stairway up can be found on the west side of Park Ave. Trader Joes is the biggest landmark to the west of Park Ave. Gold's Gym and the Vets Memorial Sports Center are the most noticeable landmarks on the east of Park Ave. Head north on Park Ave to the next intersection, and take the first left onto Lowell (the furthest left). Continue to Bartlett Ave, which is the second left. Head down to the end of Bartlett, and LCA is on the back. Look for the footbridge over the creek to the fields, but please do not bike on the grass! Taking the T from the Red Line The fields are 1.1 miles from the corner of Mass Ave and Park Ave, which is serviced by the 77 bus. The 77 runs (every 10 minutes) west down Mass Ave starting at Harvard Square. Take the red line to Porter or Harvard, and get on the 77 there. Get off at Park Ave (the Daniels street stop is the stop before it). Walk the north along same route as the bus or car directions above. Alternatively, the 62/76 runs hourly from Alewife Station and gets to the Park Ave and Mass Ave intersection rather quickly. Arlington High School 869 Massachusetts Ave, Arlington, MA 02476 This location will serve for special backup matches. This is a recently rennovated artifical turf field, suitable for field cleats or turf cleats. Bring both if you don't know :) . At present, only our first round (Thurdsay) playoff games will take place here in Fall 2009. Driving Directions from Boston - Via 2/3/3a/Fresh Pond Parkway/Concord Expy If you are near Mass Ave, you can just take that all the way up to the high school. However, during times of traffic or long distances, this may be a bit unpleasant. If you can get to Route 2 (Concord Expy) take exit 59 north (right coming from the East) and turn right on Pleasant St. Take this to Mass Ave, and go left. It’s just after Mill St. Driving Directions from Center - South Boston - Mystic Valley Parkway Here, you might want to take I-93 north to Route 60 and follow that west to Mass Ave. Go right (west) on Mass Ave a few blocks to the school on the right. Alternatively, the Mystic Valley Parkway (Route 16) exit is what I normally would take. Folow that until it intersects Route 60 (Medford/High streets) and go left and continue to Mass ave. Driving Directions from the West In general, I recommend Taking I-95 to Concord Expy East (Route 2) east to Exit 59, then take Pleasant st north to Mass Ave. Go left on Mass Ave, fields will be on the right. Taking the T There are three buses which connect to the Red Line that will serve this area during weeknights. The 77 leaves from Harvard and Porter stations every 5-10 minutes. The 79 leaves from Alewife on a decent schedule, but check that your return trip will still be served. Take the 77 or 79 west, going all the way down mass ave, to the school on the right. It will be about 30 minutes from Harvard Square, 25 from Porter Square, 20 from Alewife. Start looking for the stop after you have passed through Arlington Center and crossed Mill st. If you pass Grove St, Brattle St, or Forrest St, you have gone too far. You can also take the 67 bus from Alewife, wich runs approximately in between the 79 departures. It's pretty fast, but you have to get off as soon as it turns right onto Mill St (just after the High Rock Church) and walk the rest of the way down Millbrook Dr.
