Penn Park: New Way to Pay
A new ticket-activated gate is making payment easier and faster for visitors at the Penn Park parking lot, located at 3000 Walnut Street (31st and Lower Walnut). Here’s how the system works.
- When you enter: Pull up to the entrance gate and touch the screen to take a ticket. You must scan this ticket to exit the lot.
- Pro tip: For the fastest exit, scan the QR code on the ticket when you’re ready to leave (you have 60 minutes between payment and exit time).
- When you exit: Scan the ticket and see your total on the screen.
- If you’ve already paid via QR code, the gate will automatically rise.
- If you haven’t paid, insert or tap a credit or debit card where indicated. The gate will rise upon payment.
- If you’ve already paid via QR code, the gate will automatically rise.
