Parks & Conservation Resources To Upgrade Parking Terminals

PINELLAS COUNTY - Pinellas County park and boat ramp patrons will see a parking terminal upgrade this fall as Parks & Conservation Resources updates the parking terminal modems to 4G-LTE Oct. 4 through Nov. 1.

This upgrade, which is the first step in the department’s efforts to launch mobile parking technology in alignment with neighboring municipalities in the spring of 2022, will improve communications reliability and provide for faster transaction speeds.

As the technology is upgraded, the parking terminals will be transitioned to accept credit card payments only and require entry of a vehicle tag number. Patrons will still be required to display a parking pass until mobile parking is rolled out next year.

Parking terminals are located at Fort De Soto, Sand Key Park and Fred Howard Beach access locations, all Pinellas County boat ramps, and the Sutherland Bayou, Belleair and Park Boulevard standalone boat ramps.
