"The Acton Police Department will be stepping up its monitoring of all school areas and will be ticketing any cars found to be parked illegally.

Cars may not be parked:

1. anywhere there is a NO PARKING sign (not just during school hours but this is anytime of the day)

2. anywhere the curb is painted yellow, as this denotes a no parking zone.

3. on any sidewalk

Only cars with handicapped accessible placards may park in handicapped parking spaces.  Nor can you park BETWEEN two handicapped spots.

If you have any questions, I recommend you contact the Acton Police Department."

At some fields, parking areas are obvious, however please note:

McCarthy-Towne field is a specific point of concern.  We have been informed that the entry road to the Parker Damon building can be considered a fire lane (I had been warned personally by the APD when I coached Minor C), and parking along the curb on this road can therefore be considered a violation.  Additionally, parking half on the sidewalk is illegal.  Please park in lined spaces in the parking lot.

Douglas School field is on Elm Street, and posted signs indicate no parking is allowed on Elm Street.  APD enforces this in routine patrols for both the t-ball field and the basketball courts.  Park in lined spaces in the Douglas school lot or park at the Elm Street tennis courts.

Holiday Inn parking is in the Holiday Inn lot in lined spaces.  Even if you can find the entrance to the dirt access road used by the mowing crew, no parking on the field is allowed during ABYB events.

Hart Field and MacPherson Field visitors should park in the lined spaces in the Conant school lot.  The dirt roads leading to the fields are for emergency vehicles.

Veterans Field visitors may find the parking lot crowded when two games are on simultaneously.  Overflow parking along Route 27 is questionable: at times cars have been ticketed and we do not have clear resolution from APD.  It is safer to park across the intersection in the CVS plaza and use the crosswalks to return to the field.

High School 1 & 2 visitors must park in legal spaces.  After school hours, marked faculty spaces are available to all parkers, but illegal spaces, yellow curb parking, and handicap parking are still enforced.
