This page lists the public parking the City of West Palm Beach, Florida publishes for downtown, with each rate, limit and rule as the City’s Parking & Mobility Administration printed it on October 20, 2026. Where two City pages disagree, we show both. Three private garages and lots publish their own rates, and we list them separately and label them private.
Where should I park?
Pick where you are going and choose what day you are coming on: a weekday, a weekend or holiday, or a GreenMarket Saturday. The picker ranks the City’s garages and lots by straight-line distance from that place and shows the City rate for that day. Private garages, where they appear, are labelled private and keep their own rates. If the picker does not load, it prints the full list as a table.

Where should I park?
Tell us how you are coming and what you plan to do. We rank the public garages and lots downtown by how close they are, with the rates and rules each operator publishes.
On-street parking: Downtown meters run from $1.00 to $2.50 an hour by zone. Zone A, the highest-demand blocks, is $2.50 an hour with a 2-hour limit and runs 7 am to midnight; Zone B is $1.50 an hour (4-hour limit, 7 am to 9 pm); Zone C is $1.00 an hour (6-hour limit, 7 am to 7 pm). Rates and zones are on the City's interactive parking map and on each meter. The hours of operation come from Resolution 191-22, which the City's Rates & Payment page cites as the rate authority; the Rates & Payment page itself does not list meter hours. City of West Palm Beach: Rates & Payment; City of West Palm Beach: Resolution No. 191-22
Walking times are straight-line estimates from OpenStreetMap coordinates, not measured routes. Rules and rates are the City’s own words, checked 2026-10-20; signs on the day win.

City garage rates
The City’s five garages share one rate table. They are open 24/7, per Resolution 191-22, and take cash and credit card. For the $5 weekend flat rate, the City’s parking map adds “Credit Card Only on Entry”, so have a card ready at the gate (City: Rates & Payment).

Meters by zone, and ParkMobile
The City says meter rates run from $1.00 to $2.50 an hour depending on location, and that its system has more than 3,600 public spaces, about 1,500 of them on the street.

The hours come from Resolution 191-22, effective August 1, 2022. The current Rates & Payment page gives the rates and time limits but not the hours, so check the meter. The City does not publish a day when meters are free, and we do not assume one.
To pay, the City names ParkMobile. Pull into the space, look for the green ParkMobile logo, and start a session in the ParkMobile app or by calling 1-877-727-5714; when asked, enter the space number. The City does not publish ParkMobile zone numbers. ParkMobile texts you 15 minutes before the session ends. Meters also take credit cards and coins, but only quarters and one dollar coins.
GreenMarket Saturdays

From 5:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the 100 to 400 blocks of Clematis, plus Olive, Dixie and Flagler between Banyan and Datura, are closed to traffic, so plan to reach the garages along Banyan Boulevard; the Clematis Street Garage is entered from Banyan Blvd. only.
