When Will Stickers Start to be Required at Lynch Park?

Stickers will be required starting later this month for daytime entrance to the city's centerpiece park - Lynch Park.

Park employees will start checking for resident stickers and handing out stickers on May 25. Stickers will be required through Labor Day weekend, Sept. 2, according to Recreation Director Bruce Doig.

Stickers are free to Beverly residents, with proof shown by a vehicle registration. The stickers are given out by park staff at the entrance driveway to the park anytime it is staffed after May 25 and given out through the end of the summer.

If a park visitor does not have a sticker and is not a city resident, the charge is $5 per car on a weekday and $15 per car on weekends.

The park is staffed 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. No sticker is required and there is no charge after 3 p.m. on weekdays and 5 p.m. on weekends. There is also no charge to park at the parl for the Lobster Festival during Homecoming.

Residents that live part-time in Beverly or otherwise have extenuating circumstances where the vehicle registration does not show a Beverly address can be reviewed by Doig.
