There have been some changes to parking in the harbor that we wanted to alert all of our customers to.
Last week the Park District appeared to be putting in an automatic parking tender to the parking gates at the entrance to the harbor. It can now accept credit cards (hooray) as well as bills and change. We were all surprised this morning to arrive and have the parking gate down. Apparently they have decided to charge for parking 7-days a week in the harbor area (boo).
The parking area in the harbor is the only area with changes.
The metered parking along Recreation Drive by the softball fields remains free Monday - Friday until 6 pm on Friday. It is $0.50 an hour from 6 pm on Friday - Sunday at 11 pm. Like the rest of Chicago's automated meters, you can use quarters or a credit card.
The parking lot accessed by the left turn just south of the tennis courts is paid parking 7-days a week. Parking is $1.00/hour from 9 am - 9 pm. From 9 pm - 11 pm and again from 7 am - 9 am it is $0.25/hour. This parking lot closes at 11 pm with the park and cars will be towed from the lot if left later than 11 pm. The machines in this lot accept bills, change and credit cards.
If we get any other information regarding changes to parking around the harbor, we will update everyone as soon as possible.
