Getting to the Velodrome

 

 

The link above will open to Google Streetview, showing the driveway to velodrome.
Directions to the Velodrome
The official address of the velodrome is 2221 Morley Field Drive, San Diego, CA 92104, which if
mapped using the popular online mapping services, will put you next to the tennis courts to the north of
the velodrome. It is perfectly fine to park there (in fact, it can be better as the other parking lots aren’t
paved), but he most convenient way to the velodrome is actually from the back. The following directions
will take you there instead.
No competitor may park inside the velodrome’s fence at any time. Please do not park next
to the velodrome’s gate. Your car may be ticketed or towed by the city. You may drive your car up to
the gate for un/loading, but please move it to the parking area near the batting cages when you’re done.
If the parking lot next to the batting cages is full, you can park to the south of the service yard, closer to
where you drove in.
From I-5 from the North/South
From I-5, exit onto Pershing Dr. Continue straight through the intersection with Florida Dr. and go up
the hill. It will be best to be in the left lane. The road will curve sharply to the right, and then to the
left. After the top of the hill, turn left from into a city service yard. (This turn is approximately seven
tenths of a mile after the light at Florida Dr.) There will likely be a sign for the velodrome. Drive to the
left (west) of the fenced-in service yard on a dirt road. Past the yard there is a parking area. Please do
not park beyond the old telephone poles at the north end.
From I-8 and Mission Valley
These directions work from the Hotel. Your first, and simplest option is to take I-8 west to I-5, and then
use the directions above.
Your second option is to take surface streets to the Hotel. Take I-8. Exit onto Texas St., south. You
will go up a rather steep hill. Take Texas to Upas St, at the north end of Balboa Park. Turn left onto
Upas. Two blocks later, turn right onto Jaracanda Dr., and then turn left onto Jaracanda Pl. Merge with
Pershing Dr, heading south. Turn right into the driveway for the velodrome, approximately four tenths of
a mile later. There will likely be a sign for the velodrome. Drive to the left (west) of the fenced-in service
yard on a dirt road. Past the yard there is a parking area. Please do not park beyond the old telephone
poles at the north end.
