How do I pay the parking meter?
The vast majority of the parking meters in the Parking District are coin-only meters, accepting nickels, dimes, and quarters. The 102 parking meters on La Mesa Boulevard, from 4th Street to Acacia Avenue, accept both coins and credit/debit cards (there is no additional fee to the consumer for using a credit/debit card to pay the meter), or a combination of coins and credit/debit card.
