The Grover Cleveland Middle School at 36 Academy Road has some available parking, and in general, you may park in the neighborhood and on Bloomfield Avenue.  There are several local municipal lots in the area. Only those spaces with white striping are available (hourly parking – the others are for permit parking). Please note that “no parking zones” are strictly enforced. In addition, Congregation Agudath Israel has requested that our patrons be considerate of the neighbors.

We recommend that you leave additional time for parking. Carpooling is encouraged.
