About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Chelsea, Massachusetts, Parqay Parking at 27 Watts Street provides accessible and dependable neighborhood vehicle parking just north of downtown Boston. This open-air surface parking facility features convenient perimeter access, a dedicated asphalt surface, and clearly delineated parking bays.

Watts Street is a standard urban residential corridor, so drivers are encouraged to approach at modest speeds and remain mindful of one-way street signage throughout the immediate neighborhood. To ensure seamless parking, book your stall in advance whenever using digital parking applications and confirm your license plate details are up to date on your reservation receipt.
