Amoranto Sports Complex Driving Directions

In our post entitled How To Commute To Amoranto Stadium And Amoranto Theater, commuters learn how to go to Amoranto Sports Complex from different parts of Metro Manila by public transportation i.e., jeepney routes, bus routes and MRT LRT.

This guide now will give motorists the driving directions to take in going to the sport and concert venue destination.

Location

Amoranto Sports Complex is located to the southern part of Barangay Paligsahan, Quezon City which is just across a street from Roxas District. It is bordered to the north by Don Alejandro Roces Ave most popularly known as Roces, to the south by Scout Chuatoco, to the west by SAA St, and to the east by Scout Reyes. Below this post are three maps. A location map that familiarizes you with access roads from different locations. A map for Parking Area entrances which, upon clicking the P icon on the map, points to you what a particular Parking Area is for - Stadium, Theater or Swimming Pool. And then I created a special map for one Access Road to avoid the confusion it presents especially to first timers in taking that route. Please use the maps in conjunction of directions given here.

Parking Areas

There are available parking areas in each location inside Amoranto Sports Complex as follow:

Swimming Pool: Gate 5 - along Roces Ave and next to Gate 1.

Stadium, Basketball Court and other main facilities: Gate 1 - main gate and the first from Quezon Ave.

Theater: Gate 4 - along Scout Chuatoco near corner of Scout Reyes.

For each gate's location, please refer to the map below this post. You can also park your car along Roces Ave, just outside the sports complex.

Access Roads

Access Road One: Roces Ave eastbound - from the corner of Quezon Ave and Roces. Sogo Hotel, a prominent landmark, stands at the corner of Quezon Ave and Roces Ave. Drive along Roces until you get to the first Gate which is for Stadium and where playing courts of different sports such as basketball are located. If your destination is the Swimming Pool, then drive past Gate 1 until you see the second gate which is actually Gate 5. That's the entrance parking area for Swimming Pool goers. If your destination is Amoranto Theater, then drive past Gate 5, turn right onto Scout Reyes, then right again onto Scout Chuatoco. There you will see the Parking Entrance for Amoranto Theater.

Access Road Two: Roces Ave westbound - from the corner of Tomas Morato and Roces. Drive past Scout Tuason, Scout Tobias and Scout Santiago. Next to Santiago is Scout Reyes. Turn left on Scout Reyes then right onto Scout Chuatoco if you're going to Amoranto Theater. If your destination is either the Swimming Pool or Amoranto Stadium, cross Scout Reyes and make a U-Turn for Gate 1 or Gate 5 of Amoranto Sports Complex. See Parking Map below this post.

Access Road Three: Scout Chuatoco eastbound - from the corner of Quezon Ave and Scout Chuatoco. Pegasus Club is located at the corner of Quezon Ave and Scout Chuatoco. Just drive along this road from Quezon Ave until you see Amoranto Sports Complex to your left. First Gate is Gate 2 and it's the Exit for those who park via Gate 1. Gate 4 which is for Amoranto Theater is the last before the intersection of Scout Reyes. If you're going to the Stadium or Swimming Pool, turn left on Scout Reyes then left again on Roces Ave and make a U-Turn. Please see one of the three maps below this post.

Access Road Four: Eymard Drive - from E. Rodriguez Ave take this road if you're coming from Broadway Ave, the road from Braodway Centrum or Dona M. Hemady St. Turn left on E. Rodriguez from Dona Hemady. Drive past Gilmore and turn right onto Eymard Drive, the next road to the right. Drive all the way to the other end of Eymard which bends to the left. Make right and drive all the way of the sloping road that suddenly goes uphill upon approach to the bridge that runs to the right. Take the bridge and turn left on Scout Reyes, the first main road. Turn left on Scout Chuatoco for Amoranto Theater or cross Scout Chuatoco and turn left on Roces Ave for parking areas of Stadium and Swimming Pool. See map below this post.

Rodriguez Sr Ave from Welcome Rotunda or from Araneta Ave, turn left on this road which is between St Lukes Medical Center and St Joseph College. Turn right onto the first street perpendicular to the right (16th) and then left on the other end. Drive all the way to the other end of the sloping road that goes uphill upon approach to a bridge that appears to the right. All vehicles turn right onto the bridge. Take the bridge and turn left on the first road to the left which is Scout Reyes. Head towards the Gate of your destination. Refer to last sentence of Access Road Four.

Access Road Six: Scout Reyes - the road to take from EDSA and Quezon Ave intersection via Panay Ave. This route is explained in actual route below. Just remember once you reached Roces Ave while taking Scout Reyes, you will have two options. First, cross Roces Ave if your destination is Amoranto Theater. Turn right onto Scout Chuatoco and you will see the parking entrance for Amoranto Theater. Second, turn right onto Roces Ave if your destination is either Amoranto Stadium and Basketball Court as well as other sports facilities or the entrance of parking for those going to the Swimming Pool area. Make a U-Turn to park inside Gate-1 (Stadium) or Gate-5 (Swimming Pool). Now, to know how to get to Amoranto Stadium by car, read the next subtopic.

How To Drive To Amoranto Sports Complex From Different Parts Of Metro Manila

Route #1

From northern Metro Manila via EDSA's southbound lane. This is simple route from Monumento, Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Valenzuela and other locations of CAMANAVA and also for those coming from Bulacan, Olongapo, Pampanga, Subic, Clark and other provinces of Northern Luzon.

Depending on your location, either take NLEX from SCTEX or EDSA's northern end. Taking NLEX, drive all the way to EDSA and take the lane going to EDSA via EDSA-Balintawak Cloverleaf. Once in EDSA, drive to the middle of the southbound lane. From Monumento area, take EDSA southbound lane all the way past Balintawak.

Now in EDSA drive past MRT Roosevelt, SM North EDSA, MRT North Station and then avoid getting to Quezon Ave EDSA Flyover by driving to the right of EDSA making sure not taking the yellow lane which is for public buses. Cross Quezon Ave and turn right onto Panay Ave, the road between McDonald's and KFC. Drive all the way and after crossing minor intersections, cross main intersecion of Timog Ave and then turn left on first road after Timog which is Scout Reyes.

It's a bit tricky thereafter because once in Scout Reyes you will be approaching a junction in which five roads meet and you might get confused which one is the continuation of Scout Reyes. For that, click here to see the map and then click back button there to get back here.

Now taking Scout Reyes, drive all the way to the main of intersection of Don Alejandro Roces Ave. Either turn right onto Roces or cross it depending on which part of Amorato Complex you are headed. See map below this post.

Route #2

From Northern Luzon as well as some portions of CAMANAVA via NLEX and Mindanao Exit. This route is alternate for motorists and drivers coming from Bulacan, Pampanga and other provinces mentioned in Route #1.

Driving along NLEX and headed to Manila, take the lane to Mindanao Exit which you get to see some kilometer before reaching it (road signs are attached to prominent spots along the highway). After exiting NLEX via Mindanao Exit, you will be driving along Mindanao Ave afterwards and soon will be passing through Mindanao Ave Underpass which crosses Quirino Highway in Novaliches. There are two major intersections that cross Mindanao Ave, Congressional Ave and North Ave, in that order. You have two options.

First option. Turn right onto Congressional Ave, a wide road that intersects Mindanao Ave after you passed through the underpass. In Congressional Ave, drive all the way to EDSA. You need to take the southbound lane of EDSA. To do that, you turn right onto EDSA and make a U-Turn if applicable (meaning - if it's the road condition as of you're reading this) or if MMDA has removed the U-Turn and created Turn Left to EDSA's southbound lane from Congressional Ave, then use it. Now driving along southbound lane of EDSA, follow direction given in Route #1.

Second option. Cross Congressional Ave and turn right onto North Ave, the last major intersection and next to Congressional Ave. As of this writing, there's a McDonald's at the corner of Mindanao Ave and North Ave. Drive along North Ave which immediately merges to EDSA's northbound lane. To take EDSA's southbound lane, make a U-Turn on the first U-Turn slot past SM City North EDSA. Follow direction given in Route #1.

Route #3

From East of Metro Manila i.e. Marikina, Antipolo, Taytay, Cainta, San Mateo, Rizal as well as institutions along the way e.g. SM City Marikina, Ateneo, Riverbanks and district of Project 4 and Araneta Center Cubao via Aurora Blvd. Simple Route.

Depending on your location, take Marcos Highway or Sumulong Ave and A. Bonifacio Ave which merges to Marcos Highway that becomes Aurora Blvd before it crosses Katipunan C-5 under Katipunan Aurora Blvd Flyover. Now in Aurora Blvd westbound lane, drive past LRT-2 Anonas Station and LRT-2 Araneta Center Cubao Statin and then cross EDSA.

Immediately after crossing EDSA, E. Rodriguez Sr Ave appears to the right making Y-intersection. You need to take E. Rodriguez Sr Ave. To do that, just drive to the right and avoid the flyover that continues Aurora Blvd to the left and go with the road that separates from Aurora Blvd.

Drive along E. Rodriguez Sr Ave all the way past Tomas Morato Ave, a major road that runs perpendicular to the right of E. Rodriguez Sr Ave. You have two options.

First option. This direction goes directly to Gate 1 and 5.
