- Street Parking - There are limited metered spots available, but they fill up quickly. Always make sure you check signage for restrictions.
Pro Tip: The last time I went to a concert in the Fenway Park area, I used the SpotHero app to reserve a cheap parking spot in one of the private lots near Fenway. It was the easiest parking experience I've ever had. You could try the ParkWhiz app as well.
