Location - The New Jersey's pier is located behind the Tweeter Center (signs may still say "E-Center") at the Camden, NJ, waterfront.  If you follow the signs to the Tweeter/E-Center, you'll be close to the new pier. 

Parking - Volunteers may park in the Camden Parking Garage for free by showing their badge (follow directions at right, and watch for Battleship Parking signs).  When the Tweeter Center has a large concert, parking may be difficult.  Note that the garage closes at 8pm after which time you may not remove your vehicle. 

"River Line" Light Rail Train - is now in operation.  The last stop in Camden drops you off right at the Battleship.  Service runs from Trenton to Camden.
