Types of Buses We Offer for Sports Team Transportation in Bensalem
High-Stakes Excitement at Parx Casino and Racing
Bensalem is home to Pennsylvania’s premier horse racing destination, Parx Racing. This historic track, formerly known as Keystone Racetrack and Philadelphia Park, is famous for being the home of the legendary 2004 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner, Smarty Jones. The track hosts live thoroughbred racing throughout the year, culminating in major events like the Pennsylvania Derby and the Cotillion Stakes, which attract the top three-year-olds in the country.
Planning a day at the races with a social club or a corporate group? Parx offers a variety of group packages that turn a standard race day into a VIP experience. Beyond the track, the complex features a massive gaming floor and the Parx East clubhouse, which is perfect for private events. For groups of 20 to 500, you can reserve spaces that overlook the finishing line, providing a prime view of the stretch run. If your group wants to explore the "backstretch" culture, the Morning Works program occasionally offers a glimpse into the training of these elite athletes.
Address: 2999 Street Rd, Bensalem, PA 19020
Charter Bus Parking: Parx Casino and Racing offers expansive parking lots, but they can fill rapidly during the Pennsylvania Derby. Our charter buses utilize the designated commercial vehicle drop-off zone near the Parx East entrance, allowing your group to enter the clubhouse directly. We then stage our buses in the oversized vehicle lot near the stables or the southwest overflow area, returning to the curb exactly when the final race concludes.
Game Day Logistics for Philadelphia Sports Complexes
Bensalem serves as the ideal "staging ground" for fans heading south to the South Philadelphia Sports Complex. While the professional action happens at Lincoln Financial Field, Citizens Bank Park, and the Wells Fargo Center, the logistics of getting there from Bucks County can be a nightmare. Avoid the high costs of individual parking at the complex and the stress of the I-95 "Scudder Falls" construction zones by booking a 56-passenger motorcoach for your entire neighborhood or fan club.
Whether you are cheering on the Eagles, the Phillies, the Flyers, or the 76ers, the drivers are known in the specific traffic patterns of South Philly. We avoid the main congestion on Broad Street by utilizing the I-95 South to Broad Street (Exit 17) or the Platt Bridge routes depending on current PennDOT reports. For Eagles games, your group can stay together and begin the festivities early in a climate-controlled environment, avoiding the wind and cold of the open lots.
Address: 1020 Pattison Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19148 (South Philadelphia Sports Complex)
Charter Bus Parking: Note: The sports complex has very specific requirements for oversized vehicles. Our buses stage in Lot M or Lot N, which are the designated charter bus parking areas. These spots often require pre-purchased permits through the specific team’s box office. Unlike rideshares that get stuck in the general traffic flow on Pattison Avenue, we utilize the commercial vehicle lanes to ensure a seamless exit once the clock hits zero.
Youth Sports and Regional Tournaments at Bensalem Schools
Bensalem is a major destination for regional youth sports, particularly at the Bensalem Township High School athletic complex. The facilities here host everything from PIAA playoff games to regional track meets and AAU basketball tournaments. Moving an entire roster along with their heavy gear bags, coolers, and training equipment requires the storage capacity that only a full-sized motorcoach can provide.
Coaches and athletic directors often prefer our services because we provide a focused environment for players. With undercarriage storage, the aisles remain clear of equipment, ensuring a comfortable and clutter-free ride. Onboard restrooms minimize the need for pit stops on the way to away games in Allentown or Reading, and reclining seats allow athletes to rest their legs after a grueling match. From the football stadium to the gymnasium, we coordinate precise timing for drop-offs at the gymnasium entrance to keep your team on their warm-up schedule.
Address: 4319 Hulmeville Rd, Bensalem, PA 19020
Charter Bus Parking: During major tournaments, the school parking lots can become extremely congested. The drivers utilize the rear bus loop near the stadium for efficient loading and unloading. We then stage the bus at the nearby Bensalem Township Community Park or the overflow lots on Byberry Road, remaining in constant communication with the coaching staff via cell phone to pull back to the curb the moment the game ends.
Outdoor Action at Bensalem Township Community Park
For those who prefer local amateur sports, the Bensalem Township Community Park is the heartbeat of the town's recreation. Spanning over 44 acres, this park features multiple baseball diamonds, soccer fields, and a popular skate park. It is a frequent site for weekend "travel ball" tournaments that bring in teams from across the tri-state area.
If you are a tournament organizer, coordinating the arrival of 15 different teams can lead to a parking disaster. We recommend setting up a dedicated shuttle loop from local hotels like the Holiday Inn Bensalem or the Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia Bensalem directly to the park. This reduces the number of individual cars in the lot and ensures that every team arrives at their designated field on time. Our minibuses are perfect for these short-range shuttles, offering easy maneuverability on the smaller access roads within the park.
Address: 4301 Richlieu Rd, Bensalem, PA 19020
Charter Bus Parking: The park features several parking lots, but the areas near the baseball fields fill up early on Saturday mornings. Our buses utilize the designated oversized vehicle spaces near the entrance on Richlieu Road.
Supporting the Bensalem Owls at the Stadium
Friday nights in Bensalem belong to the Owls. The high school football stadium is a local landmark where the community gathers for home games. For out-of-town teams or local fan groups wanting to travel to rival games in Neshaminy or Pennsbury, a private bus rental is the ultimate way to show school spirit. We can provide buses in school colors and offer PA systems for the cheerleaders and pep bands to use en route.
Navigating the school's campus during a home game is tricky due to the high volume of local foot traffic and restricted access roads. The drivers are known to handle these specific localization challenges. We coordinate with school security to ensure our buses use the designated athletic entrances, avoiding the parent pick-up lines and general spectator parking. This level of logistical precision ensures that the band, the team, and the fans are all in their seats before the opening kickoff.
Address: 4319 Hulmeville Rd, Bensalem, PA 19020
Charter Bus Parking: For home games, buses are directed to the side lot adjacent to the athletic fields. If we are transporting a visiting team, we stage the bus near the visitor’s gate for easy access to the locker rooms. For fan groups, we park in the designated "Bus Only" zones to ensure a quick departure after the alma mater is sung.
Race Day Logistics for the Indy 500 and Local Track Events
While the Indy 500 is a national spectacle, Bensalem racing fans are among the most dedicated in the region. Many local groups organize annual trips to major NASCAR events at Pocono Raceway or Dover Motor Speedway. These long-distance trips require the heavy-duty comfort of a 56-passenger motorcoach. Navigating the mountains toward Pocono or the heavy traffic heading into Delaware is much easier when a driver is behind the wheel.
Our buses offer the "tailgate-in-a-box" experience. You can pack your grills, tents, and large coolers in the undercarriage bays, and your group can enjoy the pre-race atmosphere without worrying about who will drive home after the checkered flag drops. We coordinate with track officials to secure parking in the designated RV or Bus lots, ensuring you are as close to the infield action as possible.
Address: 1234 Longview Rd, Long Pond, PA 18334 (Pocono Raceway Example)
Charter Bus Parking: At large tracks like Pocono, bus parking is usually located in the infield or the specific "Oversized Vehicle" lot. These spots should be reserved months in advance. We handle the navigation of the narrow backroads leading to the track, avoiding the main gridlock on Route 115 and ensuring your group gets to their campsite or grandstand seats without the stress of self-driving.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bensalem Sports Team Transportation
Where do charter buses park at Parx Racing in Bensalem?
Buses utilize the designated commercial drop-off loop at the Parx East entrance for passenger unloading. For parking, oversized vehicles are directed to the large overflow lots located on the southwest side of the property near the stables. We recommend that your driver remain with the vehicle to coordinate the pickup immediately following the final race or event, as the lots can become congested with casino traffic.
Can we bring tailgating equipment on the bus for an Eagles game?
Absolutely. Our full-sized charter buses feature expansive undercarriage storage bays that are perfect for grills, folding tables, tents, and large coolers. We ask that all charcoal or propane tanks be properly secured and stored according to safety regulations. By consolidating your gear on the bus, you avoid the hassle of cramming equipment into multiple SUVs and ensure your entire fan group arrives at the South Philadelphia Sports Complex ready to tailgate.
How does the bus handle traffic for the Pennsylvania Derby?
The Pennsylvania Derby is the busiest day of the year for Bensalem traffic, specifically along Street Road and the entrance to the PA Turnpike. Our strategy involves utilizing back-route access via Knights Road or Hulmeville Road to avoid the main bottleneck on Street Road. We also stage our pickups and drop-offs at specific times to align with the racing schedule, ensuring your group spends more time at the rail and less time in the parking lot.
What is the best way to transport a youth sports team to Bensalem High School?
For youth teams, we recommend a 35-passenger minibus or a 56-passenger motorcoach depending on your roster size and the amount of equipment. We coordinate directly with the school’s athletic department to utilize the rear athletic loop for drop-offs, which puts your players directly at the locker rooms or the stadium gates. This avoids the general spectator traffic on Hulmeville Road and ensures the team stays together throughout the arrival process.
Do you provide transportation to the Wells Fargo Center for Flyers and Sixers games?
Yes, we frequently run shuttles from Bensalem to the Wells Fargo Center. Your driver will drop your group off at the designated commercial zone on Broad Street or Pattison Avenue. Because the Wells Fargo Center does not allow oversized vehicles in the primary fan lots, our buses park in the designated bus lot (Lot M or Lot N) and return for your group at a pre-arranged time following the conclusion of the game, bypassing the heavy flow of existing cars.
