Detroit's riverside area has public meters which require them. Seems like a tracking function along with their camera license readers.

The parking meter was invented in Oklahoma. Yep, really. The first parking meter in world history was in downtown Oklahoma City. Now it is in the historical museum.
The area is just a cleared grassy spot in the woods. No real parking spaces, and no way to put in meters, that would be tied to a space without spending a fortune to pave the area, and make it ugly. The license tag method works for 98% of the population. I can't imagine leaving the house to go to a park and not have a credit card and my cell phone.
