Where can I park?

The Cyan Lot (on Park St), Red Lot (on Cottage St.) and Yellow Lot (between Oak & Maple) offer FREE ALL DAY parking! 

3 HOURS FREE in Select Lots
The Brown Lot (on Pearl Street), Blue Lot (on Birch/Bissell St), Green Lot (on Main St.)  and the Orange Lot ( Purnell Lot) offer 3 HOURS of FREE Parking. Tickets will be issued for cars exceeding the time limit.

Pay-to-Stay Option
Want to stay longer than 3 hours? No problem - we would love to have you linger! You can choose to park in one of our 3 FREE lots (see above). Or, you can opt to pay $2 to stay all day in any of our other lots. Simply download the mobile app and you are ready to pay-to-stay. In fact, we strongly encourage you to get in the habit of starting a FREE parking session each time you park in a lot. You will receive a notice before your 3 hours expire (and tickets may be issued) so that you will have the option to pay-to-stay longer.
