Directions
When CitySquash holds practices at Fordham University, volunteers and guests should meet the team in front of Middle School 45. From north of the Bronx and from Manhattan both, the simplest way for many people to get to M.S. 45 is by Metro-North train, which is a five-minute walk to Middle School 45. On both the weekends and weekdays, Metro-North trains from Grand Central Terminal arrive at the Fordham Road station twice an hour. Metro-North trains from north of the Bronx also arrive at the Fordham Road train station twice an hour. Metro-North train schedules can be found at www.mta.info.
