Getting to Van Cortlandt Park
The **1 Train** is the most direct route to the Invitational. Take the Uptown train to the very last stop: **Van Cortlandt Park - 242nd St**.
The park entrance is directly downstairs from the elevated station.
Take the **D Train** to **205th St**. Note: This requires a short bus ride (Bx10 or Bx16) or a 15-minute walk to reach the Parade Grounds.
Use the **OMNY** tap-to-pay system with your smartphone or contactless card. No need to wait in line for MetroCards at busy stations.
