Getting Around the Site

Parking at the national monument consists of a flat, paved lot. There are no accessibility-reserved parking spaces, but some spots are located near the site marker.

Other than the parking lot, there is a stretch of grass in front of the fence that separates the site from the train tracks. This mown, grass section can be uneven and muddy in places. Some spots in the grass, especially those closer to the roadway, have uneven bits of pavement sticking up through the grass. There is also a drop-off where the parking lot transitions to the grass. The drop-off is a ledge that is several inches height difference from the parking lot down to the grass section. There is a mulch ramp located in front of the site marker to get from the parking lot to the grass. The ramp is uneven and not paved. There is no shade available at the site.
