Directions: The Sanctuary is located inside the Village Park Athletic Complex. Signage is better if you enter the park from 120th Ave S rather than Pierson Road. Take FL Turnpike S to exit 93 for FL-802/Lake Worth Rd. Follow signs for Wellington via Lake Worth Rd. Turn R onto 120th Ave S. Turn R into the park from 120th Ave S, following the small signs for the wildlife sanctuary. (You can also use I-95 but it is slightly longer and requires more turns.)
Meet at: We will meet in the parking lot by the restroom building for the soccer fields. If you enter the park via 120th Ave S, it will be the first parking lot you come to. It is a large lot; meet at the end closest the restroom and Sanctuary.
