This parking lot fills up on weekends as there are only eight spaces in the lot. Additional parking is available on the streets surrounding the park and on Thurman Street near the bridge. At the east end of the bridge, there is a set of stairs that lead down to the park. Lower Macleay Trail connects to the over 30-mile-long Wildwood Trail, which provides access to Pittock Mansion to the south for fantastic views of the city. To the north, Wildwood Trail connects to various trails throughout the length of Forest Park.
