New Paystation at East Field House

The meters at the East Field House parking lot have been replaced with a solar-powered electronic paystation, which accepts coins, dollar bills, and credit cards. The cost remains $1.50/hour, and there is still a two-hour limit. Meter fees are required from 7:00am until 8:30pm. The number of metered and permit spaces remains the same, but the placement of those spaces has changed somewhat. To use the paystations, note the number of the parking stall where you park and enter it into the machine. Then follow the on-screen instructions to pay for the permit, and place the permit on the driver's side dashboard of your car. Machines are not able to provide change or refunds once money is inserted. If one payment method is out of order, the others should still work. If you use the pay station and do not get a permit, please call Parking Enforcement at 831-459-2231. Enforcement officers will be able to use the paystation to confirm your payment. If a paystation is not working, please call 831-459-4543 to report it immediately.
