Overview
- Lot pricing is tiered by proximity, with Level 1 at $16 per day for non-residents and $8 for residents, Level 2 at $10 and $5, and the Lower Inspiration Point lot offering the first three hours free before $10 or $5 daily rates.
- Meters on park roads charge $2.50 per hour with a $10 daily maximum, and all paid parking is enforced daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Passes are virtual, tied to license plates, and require one pass per vehicle, while kiosks in the park cannot verify residency discounts yet as the vendor works on a fix.
- Monthly, quarterly, and annual passes are available, and verified resident passes also cover metered parking inside the park but not meters on Park Boulevard or Sixth Avenue.
- The San Diego Zoo lot operates under a separate system, ADA blue spaces remain free, and the city will expand its tram service to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. with a free on-call shuttle for staff and volunteers outside those hours.
