About this Location

Facility Overview

LAZ Parking at 10 Green Island Boulevard offers premier, convenient parking situated right in the heart of Worcester\'s bustling Canal District and Ballpark neighborhood. Specifically designed and developed alongside the revitalized Polar Park district, this facility provides hassle-free vehicle storage for baseball fans, foodies, and downtown commuters alike. The facility operates primarily as an accessible, open-air surface parking facility featuring wide driving lanes, clearly designated stalls, and straightforward ingress and egress. Thanks to its unobstructed open-air surface layout, there are virtually no vertical height restrictions, making it an exceptional parking choice for oversized vehicles, high-profile pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and commercial service vans that often struggle to fit into multi-tier covered parking garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Situated directly adjacent to Polar Park, home of the Worcester Red Sox (the Triple-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox), this facility is the prime parking choice for baseball game days, outdoor concerts, and seasonal stadium events.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Arriving at 10 Green Island Boulevard is straightforward from all directions.

After games and peak-attendance events, outbound traffic flows efficiently toward Madison Street, Southbridge Street, and Route 146 south toward the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90). For public transit users, the parking facility sits just 0.6 miles south of Worcester Union Station, which provides MBTA Commuter Rail service along the Framingham/Worcester Line into Boston, Amtrak regional services, and multiple WRTA (Worcester Regional Transit Authority) local bus connections.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During Worcester Red Sox home game schedules and major stadium concerts, nearby streets experience high pedestrian and vehicular volume. Reserving your parking spot ahead of time via supported online parking reservation apps guarantees a stall and helps you avoid game-day peak rate adjustments. Plan to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes prior to first pitch or event start times to ensure stress-free entry. When heading out after a sold-out event, following traffic attendants toward Madison Street or Route 146 will save substantial travel time compared to routing through the immediate Kelley Square intersection.
