Burlington County, NJ Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

" That single sentence does two things: it forbids blocking any road, lot, trail or walkway in the Parks System, and it confines parking itself to marked spaces, so pulling onto grass, a trailhead shoulder, or a fire lane to park is a violation even if no traffic is actually obstructed at that moment. The rule sits in the same numbered section of the Parks System Rules and Regulations as Rule 9, which separately bans ATVs and off-road motorized travel outside established drives and lots, so together the two rules confine every motor vehicle in a county park to roads and designated lots.

Rule 14 also protects access to restrooms and park buildings specifically, so parking in front of a lavatory door or blocking a maintenance access point is treated the same as blocking a roadway. Because the Parks System manages facilities such as the Rancocas Nature Center, the county's regional trail network and the Fairgrounds, this parking rule is the one that governs vehicles on that property; it does not reach on-street parking in front of homes or businesses, which is set by each municipality. Enforcement follows the standard park chain: Rule 37 treats a violator as a disorderly person subject to removal, and Rule 38 escalates a refusal to move or leave into prosecution as a defiant trespasser.
