11 Hawthorn Street,
Newton, MA 02458-1216
Phone # at gym: 617- 969 - 2392
Hawthorn Gym is just off Route 16/Watertown Street, about halfway between West Newton and Watertown Square
From the west of Newton :
· Take the Route 16 EAST exit off of Route 128. This is Exit 21 from the south (and turn right off exit ramp), and 21B from the north (turn left at end of exit ramp.) Route 16 is called Washington Street here.
· Follow Route 16 to West Newton Center. West Newton Center is about 1½ miles from Route 128.
· From West Newton Center continue on Route 16 East, yet this is a bit tricky so watch signs carefully. Just past the West Newton Cinema (on the right) Route 16 BEARS LEFT at a light. The name of Route 16 is now Watertown Street. (if you continued straight = incorrect) you would still be on Washington Street)
· Follow Route 16/Watertown Street for about 1.3 miles and turn right onto Hawthorn Street
· The gym is part of the park about 30 yards down the street; it is in the smallish brick building; park in the lot
· If you get to a traffic light, where there is a Dunkin Donuts on the left side, you have gone about 40 yards too far; turn around and take a left, from Watertown Street onto Hawthorn Street
From the Mass Pike East of Newton (Boston, Cambridge)
 Take Exit 17 off the Mass Turnpike
 From the end of the ramp, continue straight (Washington Street, though you will not see signs indicating this) and travel almost exactly ½ mile (.5 miles) until you reach an intersection with a traffic light (maybe 2 traffic lights?)
 At this intersection, where 2 different roads enter Washington Street from the right, you should take the second right, which is Adams Street. There is a HUGE stone/brick church on the (left) corner with Adams Street, and you should be turning just before the church.
 Travel along Adams Street until you reach the first “big” intersection: there is a Dunkin Donuts, a bank, etc….TURN LEFT, this is Watertown Street…..and get ready , because so soon:
 Turn left onto Hawthorn Street, and the gym is about 30 YARDS (not far!) on the right, in a small brick building that is part of the park
From the Boston/Cambridge/Malden/Arlington area, not from the Mass Pike:
 Get to Watertown Square... on either Route 16/Mt. Auburn St or Soldiers Field Road/Nonantum Road...
 Route 16 goes through Watertown Square, and you want to get on Route 16 West = Watertown Street. If you travel from the Cambridge direction on Route 16, this is a right turn just on the other side of the bridge over the Charles River.
 If you have come on Soldiers Field Road and its extension, it will mean going straight through the intersection in Watertown Square because you are already on the correct (ie south) side of the river
 Travel about 1 mile on Route 16.
 There is a light at the corner next to a Dunkin Donuts, which will be on the right. Go through this intersection, and turn left onto Hawthorn Street, which is about 40 yards beyond, on the left
 The gym is part of the park about 30 yards down the street; it is in the smallish brick building. Park in the lot
