Get personalized directions to the north parking lot from the map above. 
The park can also be accessed from the south side from Route 50. If heading out of DC, take 50 West and make a right on N. Manchester Street. The entrance to the south parking lot will be on the right. Note: this lot gets locked at sunset (usually). To access the north lot from Rte-50 you will need to zig zag through the neighborhood (Manchester does not go through). Continue on Manchester until it dead ends and make a left on 4th STREET. This road dead ends on Montague. Make a right on Montague St and then a right onto 4th ROAD, which dead ends on the other side of Manchester. Make a left on Manchester and the parking lot will be on the right.
Metro
The closest metro stop is Ballston on the Orange Line, about a 1.5 mile walk. Probably best to arrange for a ride from the metro stop or you can take the Metro Bus 1a, 1b, 1e, 1f, or 1z down Wilson Blvd to the fields (click here to see bus information)
Bike Directions
The W&OD Trail runs straight through Bluemont Park, so it is easily accessible by bike. The Mount Vernon Trail intersects with The Custis Trail in Rosslyn. From there you take the Custis Trail west along I-66 for approximately 4 miles where it terminates into the W&OD trail. Turn left on the W&OD trail and you will enter Bluemont Park in less than 1/2 mile. Click here or open the attachment below to view a bike trail map of Arlington to plan your ride out.
