Take a right on Cumberland Avenue and travel all the way through the commercial district (bars, fast food, and bookstores) As you reach the bottom of Cumberland Ave (where the name changes to Kingston Pike), you'll go under a railroad overpass- after this overpass, take a right into Tyson Park and start looking for parking. After you park, follow the walking/jogging path across the creek and back under Cumberland Avenue to the field.
