City Hall heard us! Paid parking will be eliminated from Balboa Park!

This is a major victory for the thousands of San Diegans who fought to protect access to our City’s cultural heart.

With the City Council’s unanimous vote to rescind paid parking in Balboa Park by January 1, 2027, we can begin reversing months of declining visitation and focus once again on serving the millions of people who visit each year.

We are deeply grateful to Council President Joe LaCava, Councilmember Stephen Whitburn, Mayor Todd Gloria, City Attorney Heather Ferbert, Michael Zucchet of the Municipal Employees Association, former Mayor Kevin Faulconer of the Lincoln Club, and everyone who helped find a path forward.

Most importantly, thank you to the thousands of San Diegans who spoke up. This victory belongs to you.

Today proves that when our community comes together, City Hall listens.

Until January, you can still take advantage of three hours of free parking at the Lower Inspiration Point parking lot and expanded tram service. Paid parking is not enforced in Balboa Park parking lots after 6 p.m.

Papa’s on Shelter Island, requiring the attachment of a snorkel and propeller to the Groovymobile and floating over to….

Nah! We San Diego folks name things “islands” that aren’t actually islands. Coronado Island, Fiesta Island, Shelter Island…don’t ask me why, but my guess is it’s to confuse the tourists.

Today Papa is serving at Atlas’ 2nd birthday with all his family and friends enjoying delicious ice cream bars and other delectable frozen treats on just another extraordinarily spectacular day in America’s Finest City.
