Parking Information

Directions for Parents

For camp drop-off and pick-up, a person who is listed on the camper pick-up form must check in and check out their camper at the camp drop-off and pick-up location. The camper drop-off and pick-up location is located at the northwest corner of the Margot Connell Recreation Center across from Walsh Hall (see parking map).

For camp drop-off and pick-up, all parents/guardians should park at the Beacon Street Garage. If you park for less than 30 minutes, you will not be charged a fee.

The GPS address for the Beacon Street Garage is 156 Beacon Street, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467.

When you enter the Beacon Garage from Beacon Street, you will find yourself on the 2nd floor. You can either stay on the second floor or drive down to the first floor.

2nd Floor Parking:

When you exit your car, walk toward the Fish Field House (the long open side of the garage). The ramp to take you to the ground floor will be located close to the northeast corner of the garage (the open side opposite the entrance you used to enter the garage). At the bottom of the ramp, turn left and walk toward Gate Plaza of Alumni Stadium. At Gate E Plaza, you will see a crosswalk. Cross the road and follow the sidewalk to the Margot Connell Recreation Center (MCRC). The MCRC will be on your right-hand side. Walk past the main entrance of the building and head to the end of the building. At the end of the building, turn right, and you will find a small staircase and two doors. This will be the drop-off and pick-up area for camp.

1st Floor Parking:

When you exit your car, head toward the opposite side of the garage from where you entered (the open side). When you exit the garage, turn left and walk toward Gate Plaza of Alumni Stadium. At Gate E Plaza, you will see a crosswalk. Cross the road and follow the sidewalk to the Margot Connell Recreation Center. The MCRC will be on your right-hand side. Walk past the main entrance of the building and head to the end of the building. At the end of the building, turn right, and you will find a small staircase and two doors.

More Information:

The camp drop-off and pick-up area will be open from 8:15 am to 9:15 am for drop-off and from 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm for pick-up.

If you need to drop off or pick up your camper at any other time, you will have to enter the main entrance of the Margot Connell Recreation Center and proceed to Member Services. At the Member Services desk, let them know that you are there to drop off or pick up your camper and that you would like to speak with the Camp Director. Member Services will radio the Camp Director, and they will come to assist you.
