Getting There

• Walking

  From the center of Red Bank, head east on West Front Street toward Maple Avenue. Continue straight for about 0.3 miles until you reach the Red Bank train station. Board a northbound NJ Transit train on the North Jersey Coast Line towards New York Penn Station. After approximately 40 minutes, disembark at Penn Station in New York City. Once at Penn Station, follow the signs to the 34th Street exit. From there, you can take the subway: catch the Q train from 34th Street-Herald Square station, heading towards Coney Island. Ride for 8 stops and get off at 57th Street-7th Avenue station. Finally, walk northeast on 7th Avenue for about 0.4 miles until you arrive at Strawberry Fields located in Central Park.

• Bus

  Start at the Red Bank train station. Take the NJ Transit bus number 834 towards New York Port Authority. The bus ride will take approximately 1 hour and drops you off at Port Authority Bus Terminal. Once you arrive at Port Authority, walk to 8th Avenue and take the subway: Board the A or C train at 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal station towards Uptown. Get off at 59th Street-Columbus Circle station. From there, walk northeast for about 0.5 miles to reach Strawberry Fields in Central Park.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer to bike, rent a bicycle from a local bike rental shop in Red Bank. Start by heading east on West Front Street, then cross the bridge to the Henry Hudson Trail. Follow the trail north, and you will eventually connect to the Hudson River Greenway. Continue biking along the greenway, which runs parallel to the Hudson River, until you reach the George Washington Bridge. Cross the bridge, and once in Manhattan, navigate towards Central Park. Strawberry Fields is accessible via several pathways within the park.
