Find The Best Downtown San Diego Parking Near You

Free parking in Downtown San Diego is limited. Some local businesses and a few garages offer limited free parking for 90 minutes to customers, but make sure to check the posted signs if free parking is available. Likewise, the City also suspends parking meter operations on official holidays, so you can take advantage of free parking on those days, but be aware that parking enforcement is only suspended for parking meters and all other restrictions are still enforced.
