RACE LOCATION:
Woodley Park Section 1, Lake Balboa

6350 Woodley Ave.

Van Nuys, CA 91436 

 

Please note, the above address will not take you directly to the parking lot. The event will be taking place at the park/parking lot labeled Woodley Park Section 1 which is very close to the above GPS address.

 

DIRECTIONS:

From Victory Blvd: If you turn onto Woodley Avenue from Victory Blvd, the parking lot will be on your left, after the Air National Guard Center. 

From Burbank Blvd: If you turn onto Woodley Avenue from Burbank Blvd, the parking lot will be down Woodley Avenue on your right. 

 

Do not follow your GPS if it instructs you to turn up a service road (this is not the correct location). Look for the Run/Walk for WeSPARK signs to direct you to the correct area. 

 

PARKING:

Parking is available on the street along Woodley Avenue or on-site at the following locations:

Woodley Park Section 1 Lot: This is where the Run/Walk will begin and end. Follow the directions above. If there is no more space, you will need to park in the overflow lot.

Overflow Lot: Turn down the road to the Woodley Lakes Golf Course. From Victory Blvd, the road will be your first right turn after the Busway. From Burbank Blvd, the road will be on your left just past the Woodley Park Section 1 Lot.
