Facility Overview
The parking area serving Margaret E. Waldron Park Field, situated at 15 Green Street in historic Muncy, Pennsylvania, offers direct and convenient vehicular access to one of the borough’s primary community recreational spaces. Laid out as an open-air surface lot with adjoining curbside spaces, this facility provides hassle-free parking for families, athletes, and local visitors. Because it is completely open to the sky with no overhead structures, vertical clearance is unrestricted. This makes the grounds exceptionally well-suited for all standard passenger vehicles, full-size pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles, passenger vans, and vehicles carrying rooftop cargo racks or youth sports equipment.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During spring and summer weekend game schedules, spaces closest to the primary backstops fill quickly; arriving 15 to 20 minutes before game time guarantees an optimal stall. Drivers should exercise heightened caution along Green Street, as children and pedestrians frequently cross between parked vehicles and the fields. The park operates from dawn to dusk, and overnight parking or camping without prior borough authorization is prohibited.
