American Legion Park in Georgetown will soon have paid parking for out-of-towners.
Selectman Peter Kershaw recently met with the Parks and Recreation Commission to discuss installing a kiosk at the local summer hangout, similar to kiosks found in Newburyport.
The kiosks are battery-operated and can be charged with solar power. The basic models cost about $7,000, while other features including the ability to accept cash and print receipts can be added which would increase the price.
“The system itself is kind of fully customizable,” Kershaw said.
The Board of Selectmen have been talking about adding a parking sticker program to American Legion Park for a few years now, to help offset the costs associated with running that park.
