Sauntering Balboa Park in 2026

Let's keep walking Balboa Park. To take advantage of the 3 hours of free parking available to anyone, we'll meet at the lower Inspiration Point parking lot. The lot is the one to your right with all the solar panels as you turn onto Presidents Way from Park Boulevard. Park in any of the 950 spots and use the parking kiosk to enter your license plate number and receive 3 free hours. (It's easy to use. No payment needed if you choose 3 hours.) We'll gather at the parking kiosk near the corner of Park Boulevard and Presidents Way and walk from there. No planned route but expect to walk about 3 miles for about an hour. As always, optional coffee and chat at the Craft Cafe by the Mingei Museum. Looking forward to seeing you all!
