Watertown’s Winter Park Had Ended for 2025

The City of Watertown announced the end of the Winter Parking Ban effective Friday, March 14, 2025.

The announcement, sent via the City’s Everbridge system, adds that “If there is a snowstorm, it will go back into effect.”

Watertown’s Parking Ordinance does not allow parking overnight all year, but the City enforces the ban during the winter, typically from the Monday after Thanksgiving to April 1.

Earlier this year, the City Council held a special hearing after a group seeking to end the Winter Parking Ban submitted a petition with several hundred signatures. Read about the meeting here.

City Manager George Proakis also shared his thoughts on the Winter Parking Ban in three open letters.
