Parking Update: SacPark is rolling out near you
SacPark — the new brand of the City’s parking division — is making it easier for you and your customers to find a parking spot. During the months of August and September, SacPark meters in Zones 9-13 are being updated and signage is being added to help visitors navigate the new system. Once complete, downtown parkers can extend metered parking remotely using the Parkmobile app.
