Facility Overview
HD Park - Enterprise Parking, situated at 59 Washington Street (Route 1) in Foxborough, Massachusetts, is an open-air commercial surface parking facility operating on the grounds of the local Enterprise facility. Located directly along the bustling Route 1 commercial corridor adjacent to South Walpole, this expansive lot provides dedicated off-site parking tailored for high-volume stadium and retail traffic. The grounds feature a level, asphalt surface with clearly organized parking lanes and generous turning radii that make vehicle positioning stress-free.
A notable benefit of this open-sky surface lot is the total absence of vertical clearance restrictions. Unlike multi-story parking structures or low-clearance underground garages, HD Park comfortably accommodates standard passenger sedans, crossover utility vehicles, full-size SUVs, crew-cab pickup trucks, and high-roof passenger or cargo vans. Drivers of oversized vehicles can park with confidence knowing there are no low ceilings, hanging pipes, or tight spiral ramps to navigate.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
The facility enjoys an unbeatable location directly across Route 1 from Gillette Stadium, the celebrated home venue of the NFL New England Patriots and MLS New England Revolution. Event attendees can bypass the notoriously congested on-property stadium lots and make a leisurely 7 to 10-minute walk (approximately 0.3 to 0.4 miles) directly to the stadium entry gates and the adjacent Patriot Place lifestyle complex.
Surrounding points of interest accessible within short walking distance include:
- Gillette Stadium: Elite sports arena hosting NFL football, international soccer matches, and stadium-filling summer concert tours.
- Patriot Place: A vibrant open-air shopping, dining, and entertainment destination featuring more than 1.3 million square feet of retail space.
- Key Dining & Entertainment: Six String Grill & Stage, Bar Louie, CBS The Score, Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse, Wormtown Brewery, and Showcase Cinema de Lux Patriot Place.
- The Hall at Patriot Place: An interactive, high-tech museum celebrating New England football history.
- Bass Pro Shops: Premier outdoor retail anchor located on the stadium perimeter.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
HD Park offers direct curb cuts along Washington Street (Route 1), granting seamless ingress and egress. Positioned strategically on the western side of Route 1, this lot provides a major tactical advantage for drivers upon event completion: it enables quicker merges into northbound or southbound flow toward regional expressways, avoiding the gridlocked multi-hour lines common in stadium-owned interior fields.
Regional vehicular access is exceptional:
- Interstate 95: Accessible just a few miles north via Route 1 North (Exit 19), providing direct connections to Boston, Norwood, and Providence.
- Interstate 495: Accessible a short distance to the south via Route 1 South (Exit 36), linking drivers to Worcester, Cape Cod, and Western Massachusetts.
- Public Transit: The Foxboro MBTA Commuter Rail Station at Gillette Stadium offers scheduled special-event train service on the Franklin/Foxboro Line to and from Boston South Station and Back Bay. Local GATRA TriTown Connector shuttle service also serves the Route 1 and Patriot Place perimeter.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because Route 1 experiences severe traffic volume before kickoff and concert showtimes, drivers should plan to arrive at least 2.5 to 3 hours before scheduled event starts. Foxborough public safety officials frequently restrict local side-street cut-throughs, meaning all event traffic must enter via Route 1.
Reserve your parking pass well in advance via ParkWhiz or SpotHero to secure your spot and lock in predictable pricing, as drive-up rates fluctuate significantly based on headliner popularity. When crossing Route 1 on foot toward Gillette Stadium or Patriot Place, always utilize the designated police-monitored pedestrian signal crossings for complete safety. Finally, back into your parking space upon arrival so you can pull straight out toward Route 1 when the event concludes.
