The Franconia-Springfield Station is the last stop on the Blue Line in
Virginia. Metro Park is located near the Franconia-Springfield Station.

From the Metro station, you have one of two ways to arrive at Metro
Park.

-   **[WALKING:]{.underline}**

> Turn right as you exit the station. Follow the sidewalk past the bus
> stop shelters toward the overpass (bridge with fencing) for the
> Franconia Springfield Parkway. When you get to the tunnel that goes
> beneath the Parkway there is a painted crosswalk. Cross the street and
> use the sidewalk on the left to go through the tunnel. Turn left
> immediately as you exit the tunnel (do not continue straight). Follow
> the sidewalk along the retaining wall to a set of stairs on the left.
> (The stairs are not visible from the tunnel.) The stairs take you up
> to a sidewalk that runs along the Franconia Springfield Parkway. At
> the top of the stairs, turn to the left and walk along the Parkway
> toward the red brick buildings of the Metro Park complex. Turn left
> onto Walker Lane. The tan Inova Hospital building will be on your
> right. Follow the sidewalk that goes toward the red brick Metro Park
> buildings on your left. The first building you will see is the SAIC
> building, and next to that is the CALIBRE building where FAS/FEDSIM is
> located, 6354 Walker Lane. It is about a 10-15 minute walk.

-   **[SHUTTLE BUS:]{.underline}**

> The second option is perhaps more convenient. There are small Metro
> Park shuttle buses, known as TAGS SPRINGFIELD CIRCULATOR buses, which
> run from the Franconia-Springfield station to Metro Park. They pick up
> directly in front of the station at Bus Bay C. **[Be sure to take the
> bus with ROUTE \# S80 on it. The other buses do not run to Metro
> Park.]{.underline}** For those who decide to take Metrorail to the
> Franconia-Springfield Station, and then take the TAGS bus to Metro
> Park, the TAGS bus is a free service. The drop-off point is on the
> corner in front of the FAS/FEDSIM building. The shuttle takes
> approximately 6 minutes.

A shuttle bus schedule is provided at the following Metro web page.
