Start on Carson Street and take 18th street through Mt. Oliver. When you get to Carrick, 18th Street is renamed "Brownsville Road." Continue on Brownsville to Brentwood and into Whitehall. Cross 51 staying on Brownsville and make the first left at the red light onto Brownsville (if you stay straight, you will be on Baptist which is off your path). Go on Brownsville until you reach Snyder Drive and make a left. You will see Snyder drive if you follow the blue library sign. Once Snyder ends, make a right onto Parkview. After about 4 houses, make a left onto Southvue. You should see the park from here. | Start on Carson Street and take 18th street through Mt. Oliver.
