Parking: where to park, hours and rates
Parking
Guide: Land is scarce downtown, and like other popular areas such
as the beaches, that means parking is limited. To ensure that on-street
spaces are opened up for visitors and shoppers, and aren't monopolized
by downtown employees, the City of Wilmington recently re-instituted
parking meters, which had been removed in the 1970s.
Revenues from the meters are paying for new public
parking downtown, including the 566-space deck that opened in September 2004
at Second and Market streets.
On-street parking costs 75 cents an hour -- a quarter
buys 20 minutes -- with a two-hour maximum on most streets. A five-minute
"grace" period applies after the meter's paid time runs out.
The interactive map below shows the main
public parking areas. Click on the tan blocks marked "P" for more
information about particular parking places, including rates, hours
and directions.
