Access to Pearce Mill Road from Route 910 has been closed because of roadwork. A detour takes motorists to Babcock Boulevard, where they are directed to head north, then west on the Red Belt/Warrendale Road. One park entrance is on the Red Belt, close to Pine Community Center. Motorists can also turn onto the northern end of Pearce Mill Road from the Red Belt to get to a park entrance.
