Popular Waltham Park Adds New Weekend Parking Restrictions To Deal With Crowds

WALTHAM, MA — The accessible playground at 200 Trapelo Rd. in Waltham has been a big hit since it opened, but that's meant challenges for some people to get access to it.

This week, city officials announced they'd be adding new parking restrictions to make it easier for residents and those with disabilities to find a spot.

Officials said that due to "overwhelming demand," weekend and holiday parking reservations will be limited to Waltham residents and those with disabilities only.

Weekday parking will be open to all visitors with no parking reservations required, officials said. On-street neighborhood parking is prohibited.

These guidelines only apply to on-premise parking at 200 Trapelo Rd., officials said.

However, just because people can't park if they don't fit within those categories doesn't mean they can't go, as the park itself remains open to everyone on those days.
