Do or Does any ....

I am going to make up two similar questions below.


(1) Do any of you know how to go to ABC Park?

(2) Does any one of you know how to go to ABC Park?


I think it's correct to use "do" in (1) because "any" refers to more than one person. I use "does" in (2) because it modifies "one" person. What is your opinion? Thanks a lot.

Natural English here is 'get to ABC Park', not 'go to ABC Park'. (1) Do any of you know how to get to ABC Park? Correct.
