Explorers, Make Your Voices Heard!
As a reminder, the City of San Diego began charging for parking in Balboa Park on January 5. Your frustrations about paid parking have been heard loud and clear – and we want to make sure that the San Diego Mayor and Councilmembers hear them, too.
The Balboa Park Cultural Partnership is asking city leaders to immediately reconsider the paid parking program in order to advocate for equity, access, and the long-term vitality of the Park. We're urging all Explorers to visit SaveBalboaPark.org and make your voice heard by filling out the form through the link provided.
To learn more about the new parking policies in Balboa Park, please refer to the city's website at SanDiego.gov/Parking/BalboaPark.
