St. Peter's church opens more parking to public

Visitors to downtown Del Mar have new parking options thanks to an expanded agreement between the City and St. Peter's Episcopal Church.

When the private parking spaces are not needed for church services or events, the parish will open more than 30 spaces to the public at its main lot on 15th Street and Maiden Lane.

The parking is regulated with Pay and Display meters and enforced by the City of Del Mar.
