Below are directions from common departure points to the Stevenson Athletic Center, and Bard's athletic fields.
For GPS Navigators: Due to the rural nature of the Bard Campus, the actual street address of the Stevenson Athletic Center may not register properly with your navigating system and actually take you to a location in the village of Red Hook. The one central address that works on everything we tested is Bard College, 32 Woods Ave., Annandale, NY 12504. Once you are on campus, follow the signs and arrows for "Athletics". Those wishing to reach the Lorenzo Ferrari Soccer & Lacrosse Complex or Honey Field (Baseball), turn onto Woods Ave. The fields are located behind the Stevenson Athletic Center.
