Everything is closed and all quarry areas are patrolled by police on ATVs, cars etc.
Also the streets around the quarries have all been changed to resident parking only. Heavy fines and towing too. Sad. ☹️

The Quarries are closed. To everyone. Residents. Non-residents. Vacationers. They are closed.
Safety has become an issue as well as the continued disrespect of the area.
Please, stay out.

Quarries in Gloucester are still closed to residents and visitors alike. Please do not go there, we have had multiple injuries which put our first responders in jeopardy when trying to reach injured persons.
This isn't our City trying to keep you out, it is our City working on the safety and well being of everyone. Think about what your actions create before you do something you know you should not do.

In case you missed it. Quarries are closed and off limits to everyone, yes, everyone.
Gloucester police have a patrol up there and it's an expensive situation should you go there. Fines for trespassing, parking ticket, towing fees and a court appearance for the citation.
Please consider this and find another place to go.
