(just after Lil' Peach and Andrew T station at 5-way intersection)
take a left onto Preble Street (between Andrew Square Convenience and

FROM PREBLE STREET:
Go straight down Preble Street until stop sign at rotary - proceed
around the rotary to the left and you'll pass a long building with a
green sign in front of it that says "Moakley Park." Park on the
right side of the road just past this building, next to the baseball
fields -- our field is located away from the road between two baseball
fields.
Here is an alternate set from the South Shore:
Take the Morrissey Blvd Exit. (I think it is 14 or 15). Follow
Morrissey for several miles - you will pass BC High. About 1/4 mile
after BC High, the road will split - the right is lower, the left goes
up to a Rotary. Bear left up to the Rotary. Go 1/2 around and exit
the Rotary, keeping fields on your right. Follow for about 1/2 mile,
still keeping fields and jungle gyms, etc, on your right. You will
come to another mini rotary. Picture that you approach this mini
rotary from 5:00, so exit at 1:00 (basically, you are kind of by
passing this rotary. Just past this (25 yards) you will see fields on
your right. Park on the road.

Danehy Fields, Cambridge From Boston:

Go to the left of the Shopping Center buildings and to the right of the
Fresh Pond Cinema (behind stores) and out the gate. The parking lot is
on the left. Fields 1 and 2 are in lower area next to the parking lot. Field 1 is the smaller field further away from the lot. Field 2A is the half of the larger field next to the bleechers and field 2B is the other half.
We recommend parking in the Cinema Lot instead of the
Danehy lot since they lock the gate at 8pm sharp and your car will get
stuck in there all night.

Hoyt Field, Cambridge Simple, Easy to Follow
From Central Square Red Line T-Stop:
Take Western Ave towards the river .3 miles, turn left onto Gilmore or Montague streets
From Mass Pike or Storrow Drive or Memorial Drive:
Take River Street (one way) towards Central Square
Left onto Howard Street
Left onto Western Ave
Left onto Gilmore or Montague
OR
Take River Street (one way) towards Central Square
Left onto Putnam
Right onto Ballord Place (just before Western Ave)
More complex, but more detailed
Even though it's right between major streets in
Cambridge (Western and River), beware, you can't see if from those
streets. The easiest way to get there -- from Memorial Drive, turn east
onto River St (left turn if you're coming from Harvard and the burbs,
right turn if you're coming from MIT/Boston). Going East on River St.,
take your 2nd left onto Putnam. Then, take your next right onto a tiny
street, which will take you to the park.
Alternatively, if you're coming from Mass Ave, head South on Prospect
(towards the River). Stay towards the right on Prospect, which will
become Western Ave. Go 7 or so blocks on Western, past Jay St. and
Howard St. At the next small street, Gillmore or Bancroft, go left. That
will take you to the park. If you miss these streets and hit Putman, go
left and take your first left to get to the park. If you hit Memorial
Drive, you've gone too far. (Direction details)
