How to Get to Subaru Park from Essington

The stadium’s official directions give different approaches depending on where you are coming from and which parking lot you need. They do not specify a single route from Essington, so use the approach that matches your direction of travel and destination lot.

If you are arriving from points east, cross the Commodore Barry Bridge into Pennsylvania and take the first exit on the right for US 13/9th Street. Stay left as the exit curves toward Flower Street, then follow Flower Street. Turn left onto 2nd Street for Lot A; for other lots, cross 2nd Street.

For Lot A, drivers coming from Philadelphia and points north can take I-95 south to exit 8 for Stewart Avenue/Route 291. Turn left onto Stewart Avenue, right onto Route 291 west/2nd Street, then left onto Norris Street and continue to Lot A.

For Lots B, the directions for drivers from Philadelphia and points north use I-95 south to exit 4 for the Commodore Barry Bridge/322 East/291, followed by the exit for Chester Waterfront.

Lot A provides access to Route 291 west and Highland Avenue, which connects north and south to I-95. The stadium recommends the riverfront pathway and Crozer Health Gate for Lot A arrivals.

Parking arrangements and lot guidance can affect your approach. For details on which Subaru Park parking lot to use, check the stadium’s current guidance before setting out.

For Philadelphia Union matches, take SEPTA’s Wilmington/Newark Regional Rail line to Chester Transportation Center at 6th and Welsh Street, then use the free stadium shuttle. The shuttle picks up at Seaport Drive and Reaney Street, across from Lot D, and runs every 20 minutes on match days.

Shuttle service begins four hours before game time and is not available for non-Union events. On the return trip, shuttles run to Chester Transportation Center until everyone has left Subaru Park; staff make a last-call announcement when it appears all fans have departed.

These transit arrangements are specific to Union matches, so check the event details when planning a different visit. For match schedules and ticket planning, see how Subaru Park tickets and events work.

Choose your parking lot and route before driving, since the stadium’s directions distinguish between lots and approaches. Lot C has riverfront and Seaport Drive sidewalk routes and is recommended for fans heading south on I-95.

Lot J is recommended for fans heading north toward Philadelphia, with access to Route 291 east via Front and Norris Streets to avoid on-ramp traffic.

Allow time to follow the route for your assigned lot and reach the appropriate entrance. For Union matches, the free shuttle offers a transit alternative, but it does not serve non-Union events. Check Subaru Park’s official site before you go for current event-day directions and transportation details.
