Grass fields (cleats or sneakers) with bleachers and a covered area in case of rain.

Construction - Jan 2010
Please note that construction of a new roadway is ongoing - each week the path to disc gets cut into more and more - the field as of yet is untouched but its days look limited. *As of September 2011, construction is still ongoing. Contact us to have someone walk you to the fields - it's much easier!

By scooter

Drive south on Chong Qing Rd South and go across Zhong Zheng bridge (中正橋) into Yong He (at HePing West Road 和平西路) drive beside the bridge a little ways and take the second ramp. At the end of the bridge, you want the right hand exit. Take another right hand turn which will be a tight, low speed U-turn. This takes you down into the park.

Take the next left and circle all the way around on this road until you see the grandstand on your left. After one of the baseball diamonds there is a narrow road to take you close to the track and basketball courts. Park there (marked as a "P" on the map below).

By car

By MRT

Please make note of the directions as it is easy to get lost your first time. There are several options for walking from the MRT stations. Detailed directions are below the map.

1. DingXi MRT - exit 2 - basically walk north and go over the flood wall.
a. easy but longer - red path, 10-15 min
b. shorter but tricky - blue path, 5-10 min

2. Guting MRT - brown path, 20-30 min
Note: It's longer, but many people walk from here. Arrange ahead of time to meet someone there (Britt, James, Katherine, Germain, Laura...)

Red Path - DingXi MRT
From Dingxi MRT Station Exit 2, go north on Yonghe Rd, take your first left on Wunhua, then an immediate right at the Family Mart to the flood wall gate. After passing through the gate, take the first available left and walk towards the flood wall and then towards the track.

Blue Path - DingXi MRT - JUNE 2010 - THIS FLOOD WALL STAIRWELL IS CLOSED
1. Go to Dingxi station and go out exit 2.
2. When you come out turn left and walk up one block to Wen Hua Road, make another left.
3. Walk down Wen Hua Rd until you see caution cross lights.
4. Cross the street at the caution cross lights and walk down that alley.
5. Go down the street until you see a beauty salon on your right, make a left at the next alley (so you know where you are when you make the left on the corner there is a small "mom and pop" barber shop).
6. Go straight down the alley until you come to the end, there will be a small temple on your left, turn right and walk straight to the road.
7. Go across the street and you will see stairs, go up and over the highway, from here you will see the team's playing field.

Brown Path - Guting MRT (updated Jun 2010)
Go south across the Zhong Zheng Bridge (walking on the west side/your right side with the direction of traffic). More than half way across the bridge there is a metal stairwell leading down. Take this down and take a right through the car toll area, and then another right onto the main road. Follow this as it curves to the left. After the light take a left and cross the baseball fields towards the track/grandstand.

Directions to Xinzhuang Stadium/Track 新莊體育場 (Monday/Thursdays)

The fields are the northeast corner of the whole recreation park and are closely bordered on the north side by Fuxing Road, Sec. 1 (復興路一段), on the east by Zhonghwa/Zhonghua Road. Sec. 1 (中華路一段), and on the south by Gongyuan Road (公園路). There are tennis courts surrounding it, as well as a huge gymnasium building that says Xinzhuang Gymnasium in large letters. 

By MRT

There is no MRT station (yet) that serves Xinzhuang. The closest one is the Xinpu station (捷運新浦站) on the blue line. You can take a taxi from the station to the fields for about NT$150.  

By bus

The best bus to catch is the 235, which runs down Heping Road (和平路) and past Shida (師大). It also crosses by these MRT stations: Sun-Yatsen (國富紀念堂), Technology Building (科技大樓), Guting (古亭), and Ximending (西門町). It costs NT$24 (student fare) or NT$30 (regular) for the 45-minutes bus trip, one way. 

IThe bus will cross over 2 bridges and rumble past an Carrefour and an Ikea. Get off at Xinzhuang Road (新莊), which stops right in front of a Starbucks. Walk down the alley to the right of the Starbucks; within 10m, you'll pass a church and know you're on the right path. Stay on that alley until you reach the end, where there is a Family Mart on your left. Cross the street (it's a T-intersection) into the park. On your left is a playground; follow the road to the left past tennis courts and toward the gymnasium. The track is on your left side. There are also signposts pointing the way to the "athletic field."

We are sometimes allowed to play on the grass inside the track (cleats) but more often than not, we are on the track surface at either end (sneakers, turf cleats) or (rarely) on the sandy grass nearby.
