Parking is available at meters on surrounding streets for 25-cents for 12 minutes, with a two-hour maximum. The two-hour limit is strictly enforced. One must move to another spot at the end of two hours; just putting in more money will not prevent you from getting a ticket (it's called "meter feeding.") The city's newest enforcement is that you cannot move to another space even on the same block, even if it was an empty space in front of you. You have to move to another block. This has not been as tightly enforced, but please be warned ahead of time.
There are a limited number of 10-hour meters located along the park, with parking at 25-cents for 12 minutes. Please also note the parking restriction signs for Tuesdays (between May and October) and between 4 and 6 p.m.

Caution: There is another parking lot if you enter on R. That's a state parking lot where your car will be towed if you park there.
