Take the road to your right (Prince St/Burt Pitts Road). Prince quickly turns into Burt Pitts Road. You will quickly see Northampton Community Gardens on your right.

If you are coming from Amherst and the Coolidge Bridge, make a right as you come over the bridge onto Damon Road. Stay on that road as it crosses Route 5 (King St.) and follow the road as it winds up the hill and past the cemetery on your left. You will see a ball field on your right as the road finally levels out. The school is a block or two past that fancy baseball field on your right. Pull in the driveway and follow it around the right to the back. Parking is by the field. The softball field is at the far end of the field.  If you are coming from Northampton: from main street, turn up King St. toward the Walmart. Make a left onto Bridge St. (the intersection before the highway on-ramp) and follow the previous directions from there.
