Parking
Players may park in the Winsor School lot if necessary. Note that on nights of Red Sox home games it will be necessary to manually open and close the gates to the parking lot, so as to avoid having Red Sox game attendees park in the lot. Garage parking is available in the area as well. In general, parking is somewhat limited and MBTA access is very easy, making public transit perhaps preferable in this location.(Direction details)
