DuSable Harbor has introduced a new pre-paid parking system. On-site payment is no longer accepted — cash and credit cards will NOT be accepted at the gate.
To park at DuSable Harbor, you must reserve and pay for your parking in advance by clicking the link below. At the entrance, a QR code will be required for entry, and failing to have it ready will cause significant delays.
