City Parking Lots are equipped with Pay-and-Display ticket machines instead of traditional parking meters. When you park in one of the City lots, look for the nearest coin-operated yellow ticket dispenser. You may buy as much time as you think you will be downtown (you may want to build in a little extra time for running into old friends on Main Street or stopping for a cappuccino). Then return to your car and place the timed ticket face up on the driver's side dashboard.

There is a free commuter parking lot at Sheldon Field, off of Bridge Street, available and convenient for people carpooling or commuting via the PVTA over the Coolidge Bridge. There is a small parking lot owned by the Commonwealth by the entrance to the Norwottuck Rail Trail on Damon Road for use of the Rail Trail.
