Pottstown, PA Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Section 102(H), part of the general rules that apply to every Borough park, bars leaving a motor vehicle parked or standing in a park's designated parking area overnight, defined as the period between sunset and sunrise using National Weather Service times, unless the vehicle's owner has written permission. The rule sits alongside the subsection E curfew that closes park grounds themselves overnight, so a car left in a park lot after hours can trigger both the vehicle rule and the presence rule at once. It applies borough-wide across every park classification set out in § 101, from limited-access sites like the Bark Park to limited-purpose parks such as Riverfront Park and Smith Family Plaza.

, of RVs, motor homes and camping trailers in public parking lots generally, while § 102(H) here covers any motor vehicle, not just recreational vehicles, but only within park-designated lots. Written permission for an exception under § 102(H) would run through the Borough's Parks and Recreation Department rather than the Police Department, which otherwise enforces the overnight ban. Violations are cited as Part 1 offenses regardless of whether the vehicle or its owner triggered the enforcement action.
