At Legacy Park, our building (Leigh Cottage) is in the south campus back towards the track. The south entrance is the closest to AF. (see map below).
Entering the Building
The front entrance to our building enters into the AF Auditorium, as well as the (coming soon) Gift Shop, Community Science Lab, and offices. The rear entrance (near the track) provides access to the Downstairs Classroom and (coming soon) Amphibian Exhibit Hall.
Parking at AF
Parking at Legacy Park is interesting. The closest parking spots to our building are marked with green rectangles on the map below: a lot right next to our building on the south side has 11 spots, and Whitehead Parking Lot is very close with 15 additional spots. There is handicapped parking (4 spots) available along the southeast side of our building.
Handicapped Access
Both floors of AF are 100% handicapped accessible through the front (upper level) entrance or rear (lower level) entrance. Inside, the floors are connected with a staircase which is not handicapped accessible.
