Coming from the East (the easy way): On Route US 22 about 1.5 miles east of the turnpike, take Route 286 North (Golden Mile Highway). Go for about 1.6 miles and turn left on New Texas Road. This road takes a 90 degree right in about 0.1 miles and you need to bear left after another 0.4 miles. From the point where you bear left, follow New Texas Rd 1.8 miles to Boyce Park, entrance on the left.
Alternative Route:
From the PA turnpike (Interstate 76),
at exit 57, take Business 22 west toward the Monroeville mall and follow
the common directions below.
From the Parkway East(route 376) going east, take the Plum exit 14b to Mosside Blvd. Turn right at the light and follow the common directions below.
From Business 22 heading east, turn left at the light at Mosside Blvd and follow the common directions below.
Common directions:
At the first traffic light on Business
22, turn right (north) on Mosside Blvd. There is a Honda dealership
and a Hampton Inn on this corner. Go straight through the interchanges
to a traffic light where the Old Wm Penn Highway crosses and Mosside Blvd
changes into Haymaker Rd. Continue on Haymaker Rd to a Stop sign
at Beatty Rd. Go straight; almost immediately you will start down
a hill; you should see a large sign that says "Boyce Park" and a road branching
to the right; go to the right - this branch is an entrance to Monroeville
Trestle Rd, also called Center Rd. (or continue 40 feet down the hill to
the Stop sign and turn right there onto Monroeville Trestle Rd).
The total distance from Business 22 to Monroeville Trestle Rd is 0.7 miles.
Follow Monroeville Trestle Rd. east and north for 1.6 miles past the main entrance to Boyce Park. After another 0.5 miles on Trestle Rd, you will come to route 380, Saltsburg Rd. Turn right and go 1.3 miles to New Texas Rd. Turn right on New Texas; the entrance to the park is only about 100 yards on the right. We are starting from the New Dimensions Shelter, watch for the orange and white control marker.
Note: The route along Mosside Blvd,
Haymaker Rd. and MonroevilleTrestle Rd is also marked as part of the "Orange
Belt". You will see signs for this.
