SFMTA parking meters on blocks within walking distance of Oracle Park and Chase Center operate from 9am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and from 12pm until 10pm on special event Sundays; during special event hours, meters are priced at $11/hour. These policies help make more parking spots available and help reduce congestion by discouraging circling for free or cheap parking near the ballpark and arena.

Events
Events subject to special pricing include all major events at Oracle Park or Chase Center where more than 10,000 attendees are expected to attend, as such events will generate heavy traffic to the neighborhoods around the facility. This includes all Giants and Golden State Warriors home games, along with concerts and other major events at Oracle Park and Chase Center.
All event dates and times are subject to change. Always check the meter for current rates.
Time limits
Meters have either four-hour time limits or no time limits at all, depending on the location, regardless of whether an event is taking place. Drivers should be sure to check the meter for time limits.
Avoiding parking tickets
Meters in Special Event Areas charge for parking until later in the evening than meters in most other parts of the City. If you do not pay the meter, or you stay for longer than you paid, you may get a ticket, just like you would at any other meter during operating hours. Street signs (shown below) indicate meters on the block are subject to event rates and evening metering. Meter operating hours are shown on parking meter or paystation screens and on the PayByPhone App. Regulations for parking with a Disabled Placard apply at meters during Special Events, visit the Parking with a Disabled Placard page for more information.
