Winsor School, Boston The Winsor School fields are located in the Longwood Medical Area in Boston, as shown on this Google Maps view.
Field Layout
The Winsor School has space for 4 fields. Field 1 and Field 2 share the soccer field closest to the gym and parking lot (at the top right of the map linked above), while Field 3 and Field 4 share the soccer field closest to the tennis courts.
Directions by T
The "D" line Longwood stop is directly across the Riverway from the Winsor School. The "E" line Longwood stop is approximately 1/2 mile away on Longwood Avenue. The area is also served by the number 47 bus from Cambridge, as well as other bus lines.
Driving Directions
Driving directions are available at the Google Maps link above.
Parking
Players may park in the Winsor School lot if necessary. Note that on nights of Red Sox home games it will be necessary to manually open and close the gates to the parking lot, so as to avoid having Red Sox game attendees park in the lot. Garage parking is available in the area as well. In general, parking is somewhat limited and MBTA access is very easy, making public transit perhaps preferable in this location.(Direction details)
