Facility Overview
The Senior Lot at 90 W Main St in Westborough, Massachusetts, is an open-air surface parking facility situated on the official campus grounds of Westborough High School. Historically designated for registered 12th-grade students during the academic calendar year, this spacious paved lot also serves as a vital staging and visitor parking area for after-school activities, athletic games, and town gatherings. Because it is an outdoor grade-level lot with no overhead barriers or parking decks, it provides unobstructed vertical clearance, making it fully accessible not only to standard passenger sedans and compact cars, but also to full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, team vans, and disability-adapted vehicles.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During typical school hours on weekdays (Monday through Friday, roughly 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM), spaces are restricted to authorized permit holders; unauthorized vehicles risk ticketing or towing by municipal authorities. If you are visiting for after-school athletics, arts performances, or weekend community activities, general parking is free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. Plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes before kickoff or curtain call for playoff games and major community productions, as neighboring lots fill quickly. Always obey posted campus speed limits (15 mph) and yield to crossing students and pedestrians at all times.
