Via Train (NJ Transit):
The James Ward Mansion is located only a 5-minute walk away from Westfield Train Station, which serves NJ Transit's Raritan Valley Line. Only a 40-minute train ride from New York City, those travelling to/from NYC will need to transfer at Newark Penn Station.
Parking:
Parking is available as on-street parking and in various public parking lots walking-distance from venue (see map below).
Click here for parking information from Westfield's official website.
The Town of Westfield offers the following FREE parking options:
-
FREE parking in permit spaces after 10:00 AM in Lot #3 (South Avenue Train lot).
-
FREE parking is available on Saturdays in Lot #3 and Lot #8 at non-numbered, non-metered permit spots, and at orange bagged employee permit spaces on Orchard St., Elm St. and Ferris Place.
-
Downtown Westfield always offers FREE parking in ALL spaces on Sundays.
Our recommendation for the least busiest parking lot is Lot #3 (South Avenue Train lot) and parking south of the NJTransit train tracks. The James Ward Mansion is just a short walk away.
**Please note that on Sunday 9/24/17 10am-5pm, several streets of Downtown Westfield will be closed for the town's street fair "Festifall". There may be increased traffic and parking will be very limited during this time. We highly recommend using public transportation, ride-sharing (we are offering a 15% off discount on Lyft!), and allowing extra time to travel to the film festival.
HANDICAP ACCESS AT THE JAMES WARD MANSION
Please note that the front entrance of the James Ward Mansion uses a flight of stairs to enter the venue. If you require handicap elevator access, there is an elevator located in the back entrance of the building (around the corner on Elm St.) and will require a staff member to assist. Please let our volunteers on-site know if you need assistance.
