Go to the main entrance at the corner, and the chess club door is open to the right of the main entrance doors.
Free parking is available in the small lot adjacent to the senior center.
If the lot fills up, paid parking is available in the nearby Holly Street parking garage, or metered parking on the streets. The lighting is quite good. The Senior Center is nicely located, adjacent to Pasadena's Old Town area. There are numerous restaurants and coffee shops for early arrivals. The Pasadena Chess Club is one of the older chess clubs still extant in Southern California.
