Getting There

The park is centrally located along the western shoreline of Saipan, adjacent to downtown Garapan.

Traveling from the airport, proceed north on Airport Road (Tun Herman Pan Highway) until the Road ends at Monsignor Guerrero Road (16 Highway). Turn left on Monsignor Guerrero Road, and continue until the Road ends at Beach Road. Turn right on to Beach Road, and keep going until the road ends at the park's mall entrance. You will see a sign for American Memorial Park in front of you, and the U.S. Memorial Court of Honor and Flag Circle in the distance. Turn left on to Micro Beach Road, and you will see the red-tiled roof of the Amphitheater Pavilion and Ranger's Station to your right. You may park there, or continue along the road to Micro Beach. There are several parking spots available in front of Micro Beach Pavilion, and alongside the baseball field and walking path.

Transporation

The park is within easy walking distance from hotels in Garapan's tourist district. From other locations, the park can easily be reached by taxi, rental car, or tourist shuttle bus.
