- The Town of Shelburne lists parking for the park "at the north end of the park in the Shelburne Shopping Park". This lot is mapped in that shopping centre, behind the supermarket. The town does not say which spaces to use or whether any time limit or customer rule applies, so respect posted signs. Dogs are welcome under owner control and must be kept out of the community gardens. No motorized vehicles. Pack it in, pack it out.
We read the official sources we could find, and none says whether parking here costs anything. Check posted signs when you arrive. Tell us what you found.
