DCR Parks Pass

Massachusetts has over 150 State Parks and this year we want to offer our residents something new! The Plainville Park Department is now offering a one-day parking pass to any Massachusetts State Park. Although many State Parks have free parking options, this pass allows for free parking at any of the State Parks that collect parking fees. Take some time to explore the outdoors in 2020!
