Longer distance (~5 miles), higher speed limits + fast food at the Canton/I55 interchange
Take Hwy 25 South through Louisville, toward Jackson. Turn right (west) on Hwy 16 and drive ~24 miles to Canton. Stay on 16 through downtown Canton and the road number changes to Hwy 22. Hwy 22 leads directly to I-55. Turn onto I-55 south.
Watch for I-55 to split into I-55 & I-220. You need to be on the right-hand side of I-55 as you approach the split and to take the I-220 fork. Take Exit 5 (Medgar Evers Blvd) from I-220. Turn left (south) at the light onto Medgar Evers Blvd. You need to be ready to turn right (west) at the first-available road (Northside Drive). Follow Northside, a 4-lane highway, for 3½ miles and it will become a 2-lane road. Traceway Park is visible on the right just after the road narrows. Turn right on Cynthia Road to get to the soccer fields.
