Balboa Park Paid Parking Takes Effect

For the first time, San Diego charged to park in Balboa Park: $2.50 an hour at meters and up to $16 a day in the premium lots, with free general lots for verified city residents, until the program is removed on 1 January 2027.

Paid parking in Balboa Park went into effect on January 5, 2026 and remains in effect until January 1, 2027, with revenue reinvested in park operations and maintenance^[1]
Meters on park roads such as El Prado, Presidents Way and Park Boulevard charge $2.50 an hour up to $10 a day, enforced 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily^[1]
The five premium Level 1 lots (Space Theater, Casa de Balboa, Alcazar, Organ Pavilion, South Carousel) cost nonresidents $10 for four hours or $16 a day and verified residents $5 or $8; the Level 2 and 3 lots are free for verified city residents^[1]
NBC 7 reported that paid parking began at 8 a.m. on Monday, January 5, the first time ever throughout Balboa Park^[6]
In February the council let verified residents park free all day at seven of the 12 lots; more than 3,000 had registered by mid-April and the city had collected nearly $700,000^[3]
The Balboa Park Cultural Partnership said museum attendance fell 34% on average after paid parking began, some institutions by 60%^[3]
Times of San Diego counted just over $2.35 million from the park's meters through May 17, plus $347,370 in permit sales^[4]
A settlement of the trash-fee lawsuit ended the program: the city agreed to revoke paid parking starting January 1, 2027^[5]
After the council's June 8 vote the city stopped selling yearly passes at once, quarterly passes on September 30 and monthly passes by November 30^[2]
