April 10, 2026 – The Beals Preserve parking area on Main Street has been leveled, loamed, and seeded. PLEASE DO NOT WALK THROUGH THE PARKING LOT, PLEASE KEEP YOUR DOG ON LEASH AND OUT OF THE LOT! Visitors who wish to enter Beals Preserve from Main Street can park at the intersection of Northborough Road and Main Street or on the shoulder, and walk onto the field AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE FENCE. The grass will be kept mowed there. Thank you.
The lot will be closed until the grass comes fully in and rooted. It has been recommended that we give it a year. We just have to watch and see how it goes. After that it will be open seasonally (closed during wet periods) in order to keep the lot usable. It is a requirement of the conservation restriction that it stays grass. We know it’s inconvenient for people who used the lot, but it’s something we have to do.
Parking is also available at Hickory Rd and Red Gate Lane.
