Free holiday parking at Regional Parks for veterans and active-duty military

Veterans, military members and their families are eligible for a special pass that waives the $7 day-use parking fee at Sonoma County Regional Parks between Saturday, Nov. 9, through Monday, Nov. 11, 2024.  

They can obtain the parking pass in advance at one of the following locations by showing a valid military identification card, a Veterans Affairs card, a veteran’s identification card or an honorable discharge record. Sonoma County residency is not required.  

• County of Sonoma's Veterans Services Office, 3725 Westwind Blvd., Suite 100, in Santa Rosa, from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday (closed Monday, Nov. 11). 
• Sonoma County Regional Parks’ office, 400 Aviation Blvd., Suite 100, in Santa Rosa, from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday (closed Monday, Nov. 11). 
• Doran Regional Park, 201 Doran Beach Road, in Bodega Bay. Passes will be available at Doran beginning Oct. 14 and through the holiday weekend. 

Regional Parks offers the passes with support from the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors and in collaboration with the Sonoma County Human Services Department to honor the sacrifices and contributions of local veterans and their families.   

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.
