DIRECTIONS/PARKING INFO:
The hub of Zone 3 Activity is currently the cluster of buildings at 267 Western Ave in Allston, MA. On-site parking at Zone 3 is very limited and there is also limited street parking nearby. We recommend walking, biking, or taking public transportation to the venue.

Public Transportation
We are a short walk from the Harvard Square Red Line T stop; The 66, 70, 70A, 86 buses all stop within a block or two of Zone 3, easily connecting us to Harvard Sq and Central Sq in Cambridge, Watertown, Allston Village, Brighton, Brookline, and Dudley Square.

Ride Sharing
If you are using Uber or Lyft, please ask your driver to pick you up and drop you off at the corner of Speedway Ave and Western Ave. This will help us avoid traffic from double-parked cars.

Biking
Ample bike parking is available right at Zone 3, and the Blue Bikes station at 175 N Harvard St is located just down the street.
