There are two nearby New York City Subway stations.
The eastern side of the park is served by Woodlawn (4 train), and the western side by 242nd Street (1 train).
The 242nd Street station was part of the first subway line of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, running along the current IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line to City Hall and later South Ferry.
The station, serving as the line's northern terminal, opened in 1908.
The Woodlawn station was built later as part of the IRT Jerome Avenue Line, opening in April 1918 as the line's northern terminus.

Bus service is provided by New York City Bus's Bx9, Bx10, Bx16, and Bx34 local routes and its BxM3 and BxM4 express routes.
Bee-Line Bus System's 1, 2, 3, 4, 20, and 21 routes also provide service to Westchester.
