The Cowan Road soccer complex (part of Wyomia Tyus Olympic Park) is located in Griffin, which is about 25 miles south of Atlanta. The complex has a concession stand and restroom facilities.

Look for the red star in the center; that's Griffin.	Here's a detailed map once you get into Griffin. The red star indicates the soccer park.

Driving time from United Quest Park is about 90 minutes. Driving directions:

1. Take I-75 South past the airport to exit #235 (old exit #77): SR 3 / US 19 / US 41 / Old Dixie Highway / Tara Blvd. This exit ramp automatically leads you south.

2. Continue on Hwy. 19/41 South for about 22-½ miles into Griffin. You'll pass the Atlanta Motor Speedway during this stretch. As you enter Griffin, you'll pass several car dealerships. Look for the Honda dealership on the right side as a landmark.

3. About a mile or two after you pass the Honda dealership, turn right at a major intersection onto GA Highway 92, also called W. McIntosh Road. There's a McDonald's on the right just before this turn.

4. Continue on Hwy. 92 for just under a mile until you see Cowan Road on the right. There's a traffic light at this intersection.

5. Turn right onto Cowan Road and continue 0.6 miles. You'll pass a school on the left. The entrance to the park is on the left about ¼ mile after the school. After you enter the park, take the first right for the soccer fields.

Alternate route for race weekends (avoids Atlanta Motor Speedway):

1. Take I-75 South to I-285 West (exit 259, labeled Birmingham / Tampa, heading toward the airport). The I-285 exit has 3 lanes; get in the center or left lane to head west.

2. Stay on I-285 until the exit for I-85 South (a couple of miles past Camp Creek Parkway).

3. Take I-85 South (toward Columbus) for about 3 miles until exit # 64 (old exit # 13): GA Highway 138 / Union City / Jonesboro Road.

4. Turn left onto Highway 138 and continue 4.2 miles to a right turn lane for Westbridge Road. If you reach Highway 279, you've gone about a quarter mile too far.

5. Turn right onto Westbridge Road and continue 3 miles until you reach an intersection with GA Highway 92.

6. Turn left onto GA 92 South and continue 21.2 miles into Griffin. Stay alert: during this stretch, you'll need to make three turns to stay on GA 92 South: right at GA 85, left after you go through downtown Fayetteville, then right again 0.7 miles afterwards.

7. Turn left onto Vineyard Road. This is a "Y" intersection with a pond on the right side of the road. Continue on Vineyard for 2.3 miles.

8. Turn right onto Cowan Road (very easy to miss if you're not tracking your odometer) and continue less than a mile. The park entrance is on the right. After you enter the park, take the first right for the soccer fields.

9. If you miss the turn for Vineyard, continue on GA 92 for another 2-½ to 3 miles, then turn left at a traffic light onto Cowan Road and continue 0.6 miles to reach the park entrance on your left.

Directions from Cowan Road to Lovejoy (20 minute drive time) and McCurry Parks (30 minute drive time):

1. Get back on Highway 19/41 heading north. Continue on 19/41 for 12.5 miles.

2. Turn left at a large intersection onto McDonough Road, also called Truett Cathy Highway. There’s a Publix shopping center and a Chick-Fil-A restaurant on the far left corner of this intersection.

3. The Lovejoy Soccer Complex (also called the Gerald Matthews Complex) is on the left after a short distance (less than a quarter mile).

4. If you continue west on McDonough / Truett Cathy past Lovejoy, you'll reach McCurry Park South on your left after 5-¼ miles, and McCurry Park North on your right after 5-¾ miles (just before you reach Highway 54).
