Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Balboa Park Parking for Old Globe Performances The venue strongly encourages theatre patrons to arrive at least one hour before curtain to secure parking (theoldglobe.org). Parking lots throughout Balboa Park are paid from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, with rates divided into three levels according to proximity to the center of the park (theoldglobe.org). Valet parking is available in the San Diego Zoo parking structure on Old Globe Way, opening two hours before evening showtimes and staying open until 30 minutes after the performance begins (theoldglobe.org). Valet spaces are limited, but they can be pre-purchased online for $25 at the discounted rate (theoldglobe.org). ## Street Parking and Event-Day Controls Near 1363 Old Globe Way Starting January 5, 2026, the City of San Diego is implementing paid parking in Balboa Park with a combination of street meters and paid lots (theoldglobe.org). The change makes metered street parking part of the event-day plan around the venue rather than an assumption of free curb space. The venue's directions identify Old Globe Way as the access route for the San Diego Zoo parking structure and valet service (theoldglobe.org). Show map of San Diego ## Balboa Park Lots and Valet Alternatives to the Venue Parking Balboa Park has parking lots throughout the park, with paid enforcement from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily and rates set across three levels based on proximity to the park center (theoldglobe.org). The Balboa Park operator also describes paid parking lots within the Cultural District as enforced daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., except on listed holidays (balboapark.org). For a show, the San Diego Zoo parking structure on Old Globe Way is the named valet alternative, with limited spaces available at a discounted pre-purchased rate of $25 (theoldglobe.org). The venue's directions recommend arriving at least one hour before curtain, which is especially useful when choosing between the park's lots and valet access (theoldglobe.org). ## Parksy Spaces Within Half a Mile of The Parksy lists three spaces 0.5 mi from the venue: a parking lot at $25 an hour, a parking lot at $5 an hour, and a garage at $8 an hour. These options suit drivers who want a reserved space away from the park lots, with the garage providing covered parking. Two further parking lots are 0.6 mi away, priced at $5 an hour and $12 an hour. A 0.5 mi walk is about half a mile after a show, while the 0.6 mi options add a little more distance.
