City of San Diego Parking Changes – Balboa Park

Earlier this year, the City of San Diego proposed implementing paid parking at city beaches and parks, including Balboa Park.

We’re actively collaborating with City officials to best understand these changes and how they will affect parking at the Zoo, including timelines, potential exemptions, and other implementation details.

As part of these discussions, should we need to implement paid parking as part of this change in Balboa Park, we are preemptively exploring a lease amendment with City Council that would allow us different options when offering parking at the Zoo for San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance members, team members, and volunteers. 

We’re dedicated to making every aspect of the San Diego Zoo visitor experience as enjoyable as possible, and we understand parking plays an important part in that experience. 

We’ll ensure our guests are informed about any changes well in advance through updates on this website and other communication channels.
