🚇 Transit
Your best bet is the SkyTrain; hop off at Patterson Station and enjoy a scenic 10-minute walk west through Central Park to the stadium. Major bus routes also run constantly along nearby Kingsway and Boundary Road, leaving you just a short stroll away.
🚗 Parking
Free parking exists in lots within Central Park, but they fill up exceptionally fast for any popular event, so plan to arrive very early. Otherwise, you'll be hunting for limited street parking in the surrounding residential areas.
