Route

Good to know
This route turns at Transverse Drive before the farther-west traffic-sharing points documented for the longer cross-park route. The promenade is shared with walkers, cyclists, runners, and skaters, and authorized maintenance, ranger, and City vehicles may still enter. The agency does not publish a complete crossing, barrier, grade, or cross-slope inventory, so this is not described as flat, stair-free, universally accessible, or entirely vehicle-free. Check current route and project notices for temporary event or construction detours.
