Directions

From GA/400:

From I-85, exit going west on I-285.
From I-75, exit going east on I-285.

Either way, from I-285, take the Roswell Road exit, (exit 25) and go north, outside the perimeter. Drive approximately ½ mile, then turn left on Hammond Drive. Go one block and turn right on Sandy Springs Circle. If you're headed for the park, go one block and turn right onto Sandy Springs Place. The entrance will be immediately on your left, and parking is available in the designated lots on your right.

If you are headed for the administrative office, keep going straight on Sandy Springs Place until you reach Bluestone Road. Make a left turn and the office is immediately on your left.

Important parking and direction information:

 There are several parking lots. The two lots that are closest to the building are the ones you want to park in, especially since it is often dark when we leave the center.

The first lot surrounds the building. There are about 35 spots there. The second lot is directly across from the front entrance. It’s a parking lot of a business that allows the center to use their lot for evening events. The sign says 200 - The Capital Companies. It’s on Bluestone Road, like the center, but the sign is on the side of the lot that faces the CityWalk shopping center. Heritage Green’s parking map does NOT have this lot marked.

Click here for directions, but use above information for parking.
