PITTSFIELD, Mass. The city of Pittsfield wants the public to know that overnight camping in city parks is not an option. The Parks Commission on Tuesday unanimously accepted and endorsed a draft action plan to address overnight camping in the parks under its commission policy. This policy addresses the influx of homeless individuals who began seeking shelter most popularly at Springside Park in the summer of 2020. It is comprised of a number of elements including a great emphasis on signage in parks, updating a communal bulletin board of resources for those experiencing homelessness, violation notices to overnight campers, and aggressively monitoring existing sites.
