Street Parking

Street parking around the ballpark is limited and primarily intended for non-baseball parking. Fans are encouraged to reserve parking in advance.

To reduce traffic and parking congestion, special event parking rates will apply during all games. For A's games, a $39 special event rate applies two hours before an event through the end of the event for on-street parking transactions exceeding two hours. 

For River Cats games, special event parking rates vary by location and are based on the rates charged at the Sutter Health Park surface lots. Rates range from $18.75 to $24.25. Please check the ParkMobile app or the meter for the exact rate at your parking location.

For all other special events — including the Giants Exhibition Game and concerts — parking rates may be up to 125% of the Sutter Health Park surface lot rate.

Parking Meter Hours of Operation 

Metered parking is enforced seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Look for 2+ and ParkMobile signs to identify metered areas.

How to Pay

• Use the ParkMobile app (recommended) or a nearby parking meter.
• Meters accept credit cards and coins.

Important

Parking is pay-by-plate and wirelessly linked to parking enforcement. Officers will verify your payment based on the license plate you entered—no need to display a receipt in your vehicle.

Download the Parkmobile App 

With the ParkMobile app, you can conveniently extend your parking session from anywhere, ensuring you have as much time as you need. Alternatively, you can also extend your session using the same parking meter where you originally made your payment.

Meter Rates

Parking meter rates operate on a tier rate structure. There are no time limits at these meters. The image below illustrates the hourly parking rate in a 2+ zone.

Tier 1 = Regular hourly rate based on posted number of hours

Tier 2 = Effective for up to one additional hour after end of Tier 1

Tier 3 = Effective rate for every one hour parked past Tier 2

These new rates will align with the local market, promote turnover and increase short-term availability, while directing longer-term parking to off-street facilities.

Special Event Meter Rate

To manage parking demand and prevent an influx of vehicles from occupying street parking during special events, the City implements a special event meter rate whenever an event takes place at Sutter Health Park. This helps ensure fair access to the limited parking supply for all users—including residents, visitors, and businesses.

When the special event rate is in effect, a special event rate will apply if your parking session extends beyond the posted time limit. In a 2+ zone, this rate activates after your second hour of parking. The special event rate takes effect starting two hours before the event begins.

The special event rate is set at up to 125% of the parking rates at Sutter Health Park lots, plus the Tier 1 meter rate, meaning the total cost may vary. For example, with the current Sutter Health Park parking rate at $30.00, the special event rate would be $37.50 (125% of $30.00), resulting in a total charge of $41.50.

         Special Event Rate Breakdown

Hour 1: $2.00

Hour 2: $2.00

Special Event Rate: $37.50

___________________________

Total: Hour 1 ($2.00) + Hour 2 ($2.00) + Special Event Rate ($37.50)  =  $41.50

For A's games, a $39 special event rate applies two hours before an event through the end of the event for on-street parking transactions exceeding two hours. 

For River Cats games, special event parking rates vary by location and are based on the rates charged at the Sutter Health Park surface lots. Rates typically range from $18.75 to $24.25. Please check the ParkMobile app or the meter for the exact rate at your parking location.

For all other special events — including the Giants Exhibition Game and concerts — parking rates may be up to 125% of the Sutter Health Park surface lot rate.

Free Parking in the Bridge District

The City of West Sacramento offers up to two hours of free parking when visiting the Bridge District. If you need additional time, you can purchase extended parking beyond the free two-hour period.

To take advantage of free parking:

1. Park in one of the designated green zones on the map (ParkMobile zones 3471 or 3465).
2. Start a parking session using the ParkMobile app (recommended) or a nearby meter.
3. Follow the prompts—your first two hours will automatically be free.

Important: You must start a parking session immediately upon parking, even for the free period. Vehicles without a valid session may be subject to citation.

Once the daily average parking occupancy rate reaches 85%, the first two hours of free parking will revert to the standard meter rate. This threshold indicates that the free parking program has successfully attracted enough visitors to meet its intended goal.

Restoring normal meter rates at 85% occupancy helps maintain parking availability by encouraging turnover, ensuring that spaces remain accessible for new visitors.

Low Income Payment Plans

California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 40220 allows for installment payments of parking citations for qualifying low-income individuals. Once a citation is enrolled in this program, it is no longer eligible for appeal pursuant to an Administrative Review or Hearing.

Parking citation late fees and penalty assessments (“Late Fees”) are removed at time of enrollment in the payment plan in accordance with CVC Section 40220. Late Fees are reinstated if the payment plan is not completed.  Also, DMV registration holds and Franchise Tax Board tax intercepts will not be implemented, and / or will be removed during the payment plan, subject to its satisfactory completion.  If the payment plan is not satisfactorily completed, then such remedies may be invoked.

Who May Qualify for a Payment Plan

Only the Registered Owner or Lessee of the vehicle for which the citation was issued may enroll in a Payment Plan. To qualify, you must meet the requirements of CVC Section 40220 by either being “Low Income” or receiving qualifying “Public Benefits”, as explained in further detail below.

“Public Benefits” are defined in Government Code (GC) Section 68632(a) and include, but are not limited to, public benefits under one or more of the following programs: CalWORKs (or Tribal TANF), Supplemental Security Income and State Supplementary Payment, Supplemental Nutrition or California Food Assistance Program, County Relief, General Relief or General Assistance, Cash Assistance Program for Aged, Blind, and Disabled Legal Immigrants, In-Home Supportive Services, and Medi-Cal.

“Low Income” is defined as any applicant whose monthly income is 200 percent or less of the current poverty guidelines updated periodically in the Federal Register by the United States Department of Health and Human Services.  See Chart below for current income thresholds.

How to Enroll in a Payment Plan

If you are either Low Income and/or the recipient of Public Benefits, you must fully complete and sign an application form to enroll in a payment plan. You are only entitled to enroll in a payment plan once for any specific parking citation(s).  You may enroll in additional payment plans for any citation(s) which were not previously included in a payment plan. To obtain an application online click here or visit: City of West Sacramento, 1110 West Capitol Avenue, 1st Floor, West Sacramento, CA 95691.

Completed applications can be mailed to the “City of West Sacramento Enforcement Processing Center” P.O. Box 6010, Inglewood, CA 90312-6010”.             

You must also submit documentation along with your application verifying that you are Low Income or receive qualifying Public Benefits; examples of acceptable documents are explained below.  Once your application is complete, you may mail the application and supporting documents to the “City of West Sacramento Enforcement Processing Center” P.O. Box 6010, Inglewood, CA 90312. Lastly, a non-refundable administrative fee of $5 is due upon enrollment.  Information regarding payment of the non-refundable fee can be found on the low income payment plan application. There you can also elect to include this fee to the payment plan by checking the appropriate box on your application form.

Please note that if your status as either Low Income and/or as the recipient of Public Benefits is found to have been willfully fraudulent, the reduction of your fines and fees will be overturned and the full amount of any fines and fees will be restored.

What Documentation/Proof Needs to be Submitted Along with the Application

• Public Benefits - Acceptable forms of proof include true copies of an electronic benefits transfer card or another card, and/or other documentation that confirms your receipt of qualifying Public Benefits under one or more of the following programs: CalWORKs (or Tribal TANF), Supplemental Security Income and State Supplementary Payment, Supplemental Nutrition or California Food Assistance Program, County Relief, General Relief or General Assistance, Cash Assistance Program for Aged, Blind, and Disabled Legal Immigrants, In-Home Supportive Services, and Medi-Cal.

• Low Income - Acceptable forms of proof of Low Income include true copies of a recent pay stub or another form of proof of earnings, such as a bank statement or financial statement, and/or other documentation that demonstrates that your income is 200 percent or less than the current income thresholds identified in the Chart above.

Payment Plan Approval

If your application for a payment plan is approved and you qualify for the payment plan, you will automatically be enrolled in the payment plan and a follow-up communication will provide you detailed payment information and terms.  If your application is incomplete or is otherwise rejected, you will be notified. If for any reason you wish to revoke your application or cancel your payment plan, you may notify us at any time. 

Information About Payments and Duration of the Payment Plan

The City of West Sacramento is not required to provide any invoices, payment reminders, or notification of late or insufficient payments. It is your sole responsibility to ensure payments are made timely and in the proper amounts.  All payments must be received by the due date.  Plan participants are encouraged to set up their own payment reminders. Helpful tips include: taking a photo of your payment plan agreement, setting regular reminders in your calendar, and telling a family member or friend who helps you with your finances.

Minimum monthly payments are due no later than the 1st or 15th of each month as identified in your plan approval letter.

There are no prepayment penalties and you may voluntarily make excess payments.  However, any overpayments will not relieve you of the obligation to make the mandated monthly payment(s) in full each month until such time that entire payment amount is paid in full and the payment plan is completed.  If at any time you have questions about the remaining balance due, final payment amounts, or anything else related to your payment plan, please call our customer service staff at the number above. 

How to Submit Payments Under a Payment Plan

• By Mail: Send check or money order payable to the “City of West Sacramento Enforcement Processing Center” P.O. Box 6010, Inglewood, CA 90312-6010”. Reference the payment plan number and license plate on the check/money order.

Payment Plan Default:

If you default on your payment plan you will have 45 days from Notice of Payment Default to make the missed payment and otherwise bring or keep your payment plan payment(s) current. Failure to do so will result in you being removed from the payment plan. After this one-time 45 day extension expires, you will not be provided any further extensions or notices, and any additional late or insufficient payments or other forms of default will result in immediate removal from the payment plan.  Removal from the payment plan could result in: (i) any fees and penalties that had been waived as part of the payment plan being added back to the amount due, and (ii) vehicle registration holds or other potential consequences as permitted by law.  

If you have any questions about payment plans, please contact our customer service staff at 916-617-4952.

1. Why did I receive a citation for parking over the time limit after I moved my vehicle across the street? 

West Sacramento City Code 10.24.120 Time Limit Parking Zones

When authorized signs have been placed by the city manager or designee, giving notice thereof, no person shall stop, stand or park any vehicle in a business district or on any street designated by resolution during the days and hours indicated on such signs for a period of time longer than the time limit specified on such signs. 

Posted time limits are intended to prevent a vehicle from parking on the same street for more than a specific amount of time during the posted restricted hours. This allows other vehicles an opportunity to park on that street. 

Citations for violation of this code are issued when a vehicle parks on the street longer than the posted time limit during the posted restriction hours.

For example, a 1 hour time limit on a street where the restriction hours are in effect between 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., means that a vehicle may not park on that street for more than 1 hour between 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. To avoid a citation, the vehicle must be moved completely off that street. However, since moving completely off a street is a very restrictive application of the Code, vehicles are permitted to be re-parked at least one city block away from the original parking space. The act of re-parking a vehicle a few spaces away, across the street and/or returning to the same block, does not create a new parking session.

2. I lost my parking citation and don't have the issuance number in order to pay it. How can I get the number to pay the citation?

To obtain the parking citation issuance number, you may call our customer service line at (916) 617-4589 between 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday – Friday. You will be asked to verify the name on the vehicle’s registration, vehicle license plate number and VIN.
