Directions

to Echo Lake Park:


Route 22 East in Mountainside –

park entrance is on your right hand side.


Springfield Avenue in Westfield –

park entrance is on your left hand side.


From the Garden State Parkway North
or South – Take the Kenilworth/Elizabeth

Exit 138. Make a left onto Kenilworth Boulevard and follow straight
for several miles. The Boulevard turns into Springfield Avenue in
Cranford. Follow for another mile and the park is on the left hand
side.


For those of you coming from the Central/South NJ coming up the Parkway NORTH.

Follow the Parkway North to Exit 138 (Kenilworth). At the end of the exit make a LEFT at the traffic light. That will put you onto The Blvd./Kenilworth Blvd. Stay on there for 9 lights. The Blvd. will turn into Springfield Ave.

At that 9th light make a LEFT into the entranceway to Echo Lake Park. You will see parking on your right about 1/10th to 2/10ths of a mile up the street. I will try to post signs again.

If you are coming from North NJ and taking the parkway South Follow the same directions as the Parkway NORTH people but just make the Left at the 8th traffic light...not the 9th one.

I can make a pass through Clifton if need before I head down.

Just let me know if you really need it.

Also anyone in the Fort Lee Area that needs a ride just let me know.

[JerseyRich]

If anyone is coming on the train and wants to be picked up at the Cranford Train station on the Raritan Valley line, let me know.

Have car and will assist.

[Marc with a c]

if anyone in the downtown brooklyn area or manhattan wants a ride i have a stupid car and am willing to drive. pm me if you want to ride dirty.

church.

[lleeder]

I need a ride. I live on or in Long Island and I like to drink. I'd be willing to take a train closer to the ride if the ride was willing to take me the rest of the way to the venue.

[Fallon]

I'm gonna need a ride after the games to a train station (Amtrak or something that connects).

[Friday]

I'm gonna need a ride after the games to a train station (Amtrak or something that connects).

Just so you guys all know... the Metropark in Iselin (not too far from Westfield) has Amtrak services to Boston.

If this does not work out ... I will leave a key with Fallon and he can crash at my pad. But one of you may be nominated to take him to ZE TRAIN on sunday because I have no idea when I will be recovered and back home from my cast parteee/set strike wheee!

There are several Echo Lake Parks in NJ.

This particular one is in Mountainside/Westfield, NJ

[Justice4all]

For people taking the train in you want to use the Raritan Line in NJ that takes you to the Crandford Station. You should be able to find it at Penn Station in Newark. I do not know about Hoboken. Does anyone else know where else you can grab the Raritan Line?

[sailor]

is there a date in here?

The Raritan Valley Line Train runs between NEWARK-PENN and ANNANDALE.

It does NOT link up with the Secaucus Transfer, but if you're coming in from NYC and are not driving, you can switch at Secaucus to either the Northeast Corridor or North Jersey Coast Lines and transfer to the Raritan Valley Line at Newark-Penn.

The RV Line train usually owns Track 5 at Newark-Penn and I didn't think it ran on the weekends.

More info on the bus and rail system in NJ can be found online at http://www.njtransit.com

It does, I am sure of it.

And thanks for the link. It will definately help.

[topless_mike]

and, if you guys want, there is a Hooters on rt 22e 10 minutes from the park.
as you come out of the park (either end), rte 22 is right there. just follow it east.

Just take the NE Corridor or NJ Coast Train to Newark from NY and transfer to Raritan Valley Line...Doesn't make sense to change at Secaucus.

It does make sense if you wan't to avoid that toilet bowl they call a train station.

[Havenostaples]

If anyone needs a ride from Sussex/Morris county I can help.

The Raritan Valley line doesn't go past Newark. So you literally have to go to Newark anyway. Transferring at Seacaucus just ads a step.

NYC -> Newark
Newark - > whichever Raritan valley stop you're taking it to.

Is CT a Union or Somerset County native?

Trivia:

Does anyone know why the Raritan Valley Line does not go directly into NYC?

Answer in 2 and 2...

Because it is a diesel line and you Penn Station New York does not allow diesel trains. http://www.ronfez.net/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif

Yep, Somerset County guy here.

[lleeder]

Is anyone leaving now or later from Long Island that can give me a ride? I'll even go take the train somewhere and meet you there... guess not :thumbdown:
