The Battlefield Visitor Center parking lot is a loop road with an entrance on the left hand side and exit on the right hand side. Two handicap parking spots are immediately located when you turn into the parking lot. Both spots have ramp access on the passenger side of the vehicle. The first row of car parking offers a paved path that visitors must step up onto from a curb, but there is a graded ramp entrance at the rear of the first handicap parking spot closest to the visitor center. Please note that the ramp has a narrow entrance and may be slightly difficult to use due to the slight elevation of the ramp’s edges. This ramp will connect to the paved path leading to the Visitor Center.
