Parking at Fenway for someone on crutches

We could really use some advise. Our family is planning a trip to Maine and Boston in a couple of weeks. We thought we had everything in line, but unfortunately my son recently broke his ankle. and is now using crutches to get around. We%26#39;re trying to make some adjustments to make things as easy as possible for him.

We have one day in Boston, traveling in from Maine. Our plans are to arrive early Tuesday morning (9:00 am or so), check out the city by using the Old Town Trolley, and then ending our day at a Red Soxs Game.

My question is - is there any handicapped parking or garages very close to Fenway that we could park our car at in the MORNING? We%26#39;re thinking if there were, we could park our car there first thing, take a cab to the Trolley, use that throughout the day to get around, and then take a cab to Fenway that evening. We figured that would require the least amount of walking.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks so much!!!!

Your idea makes sense, but I%26#39;m not sure it will work, unless you have another family member with a permanent condition that has resulted in official handicapped plates/plackard. My friend has a child with a permanent disability, and she was given a ticket for parking in a handicap spot when her son was not with her (but she was in a hurry and thought it was ok). So I do not believe you would be permitted to use a handicap designated spot for ';only'; crutches. There is plenty of parking around Fenway on game days when most nearby businesses charge to park in their lot, so you will be able to find a spot and pay. I don%26#39;t mean to sound negative, just sharing what I have observed. Maybe someone else will have a great idea. If you are staying overnight in Boston, then the taxi idea may be best, since it would bring your son directly from door to door. Have a great trip!

Thanks so much for your input!!!

My son was given a handicap permit, so parking in handicap designated areas shouldn%26#39;t be a problem, if they%26#39;re available. :)

I guess my concern was that the parking specifically at Fenway may not be ';open'; until later in the day - I didn%26#39;t know if we could park there first thing in the morning.

Thanks, again, for your taking time to share your thoughts and ideas. It%26#39;s such a great feeling to know there are so many people out there helping each other. (My husband hates it when I%26#39;m cheesy like that!)
