Free Parking for Veterans on 2019 Holiday Weekend

In honor of Veterans Day, military members and veterans will receive free parking at all Sonoma County Regional Parks for the holiday weekend.

Active duty, veteran and retired military personnel and their families will be able to visit county parks and trails with a special pass that waives the regular $7 day-use parking fee from Friday, Nov. 8, through Monday, Nov. 11.

Visitors can obtain the parking pass by showing a valid military identification card, a Veterans Affairs card, a veteran’s identification card, or an honorable discharge record. Sonoma County residency isn’t required. 

Passes are available in advance of the holiday weekend at the following locations:

• Sonoma County Regional Parks’ main office, 2300 County Center Drive, Suite 120A, Santa Rosa. Open Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
• Sonoma County Veterans Service Office, 3725 Westwind Blvd., Santa Rosa. Open Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

Passes also are available now through Veterans Day at the staffed entrances to Spring Lake (Newanga Avenue entrance only) and Doran Beach. 

Regional Parks is offering the Veterans Day weekend pass for a sixth year, with support from the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors and in collaboration with the Sonoma County Human Services Department.

In addition to the Veterans Day pass, Regional Parks offers a year-round distinguished veterans day-use pass, which provides free parking to disabled war veterans, former prisoners of war and Congressional Medal of Honor recipients.
