Downtown Parking

The Town of Mansfield provides time-restricted (as posted) free parking in the downtown central core along North Main Street. This prevents overflow from the MBTA lots into parking spaces that serve our downtown business, its employees, and residents. For our residents and merchants downtown, we offer Central Business District (Downtown) Parking Permits. Hanging this permit from your rearview mirror allows your vehicle to park in designated areas for longer than the designated two-hour or four-hour limits without having to worry about a ticket.
