FDirections to the Schuylkill River:
From South Jersey via the Walt Whitman Bridge:

• Take I-76, the Schuylkill Expressway, west.
• Follow I-76 West to exit 340 on the right.
• Take this exit, turn right at foot of exit and get in the left lane as you go over City Avenue Bridge across the Schuylkill River.
• Stay left and follow signs for Kelly Drive.
• The ramp will spiral downwards in a counter-clockwise direction and will merge you onto Kelly Drive, southbound. Be very careful, especially if you are pulling a boat trailer on this tight, descending curve!
• Move to right lane of Kelly Drive after merging at the bottom of the spiral.
• Take Kelly Drive past four traffic lights.
  You will not be able to get onto the Drive after a certain time without a parking sticker. Additional parking is located up above Kelly Drive. Parking is well marked. Kelly Drive is closed to thru traffic for regattas at Strawberry Mansion Bridge. Parking occurs along the section that is closed to thru traffic right on Kelly Drive itself – Parking is on the diagonal to the curb closest to the river. Parking traffic is permitted with a parking pass and goes only in one direction – towards Center City. Therefore the best way to approach the regatta and parking is to get onto Kelly Drive either from Ridge Ave or the Falls Bridge. The Drive opens back up to traffic downstream from the grandstands at Fountain Green Drive.

  Park wherever you find a space and head to our tent. We are usually closer to where the boats go into the water.  We do not have assigned space so we set up wherever we find a space when we get there in the morning. The Hospitality Tent(s) are white with a red and white OCHS Crew Banner. Since there will be so many tents, look also for the large white OCHS Crew Trailer (which is now easily identifiable). A deep red Chevy van with a Crew Magnet on the back, will be parked near the Tent site.

  When parking is full along Kelly Drive, the police will not allow cars along Kelly Drive and you will have to go up the hill via Strawberry Hill Drive and park up along E. Reservoir Drive. The point at which Kelly Drive is blocked offers easy access to Strawberry Hill Drive by veering off to the left. Never park on the grass (unless it is a paid parking event) or you risk a $100 parking ticket!! Once you’ve legally parked your car, your choices for getting to the river bank are a) to hike thru the woods and down the steep hill (definitely shorter, wear good shoes and pay attention to where you are going) or b) along the road towards Center City and double back on Kelly Drive to the event.

  Keep in mind that West River Drive closes to traffic from the Art Museum to Falls Bridge starting in April. If you are coming from Boathouse Row to the regatta you will have to work your way back onto Kelly Drive from above where it is blocked.
