If you exceed the 2-hour limit at Cape Elizabeth Fort Williams meters, you must pay $2 per hour for every additional hour beyond the first two. The first 2 hours require a flat $6 minimum payment. Parking beyond the time limit by continually feeding the meter is illegal and can lead to fines up to $100 or vehicle towing.
Here is the exact fee structure for 2026:
| Time Parked | Total Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First 2 hours | $6 | Mandatory minimum fee |
| Hour 3 | $8 | $6 + $2 per extra hour |
| Hour 4 | $10 | $6 + $4 for two extra hours |
| Full Day Pass | $10 | Saves money for stays over 4 hours |
Metered parking operates from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, from May 1 to November 1. A full day parking pass costs $10, which is cheaper than paying hourly for 5+ hours. Season passes are $15 for residents who visit frequently. All fees are paid at the meters using a credit or debit card only. Cash is not accepted.
Residents of Cape Elizabeth can park for free at the rear of the park if they have a current recycling center permit on their car. This bypasses the meter requirement entirely. Non-residents must pay the standard $6 minimum plus $2 per extra hour. If you forget to pay or exceed your time, enforcement officers patrol regularly and issue tickets based on the posted signage.
