What Purl said. Here's the view highlighted in TFs (notice the "P" is partially hidden):

Once you're there, it becomes more obvious. Continue climbing N Range Utility Rd (which is gated off at the highlighted lot) and make a right on the green Teardrop trail (really another dirt road). Then you can easily do laps of the various Half Pipe trails and/or access Broken Arrow and do a much longer lap of that trail to Firemans heading north to a left on Border. Jack of Diamonds is visible right from the lot. Much bigger tables, but the lips were very toned down when I was there last year.

I learned the hard way to park here. We first started by the zoo and like in the first post in this thread says, there is a brutal climb. I can only think of a few people that I think that would not hike a bike on it. If you’re there for the downhill trails 1/10 would not recommend parking by the zoo.

Made the same mistake my first time! The fireman's trail is no joke, about a 26-28% grade climb for 0.10 mi according to Trailforks. I've hike-a-bike'd it a handful of times and always regret not just taking the longer climb trail north instead.

But yeah definitely park in the other lot, much easier to stay up on the plateau and you'll only have to make that climb if you hit Broken Arrow (which I do recommend, one of my favorite trails in the park).

Oh we done messed up harder. If you’re looking up at broken arrow (prob my favorite there too) we went up lookers left. Very steep single track and almost impossible switchback.
