Vets Can Visit East Bay Parks for Free on Veterans Day

Veterans and their families can enjoy parks within the East Bay Regional Park District for free on Veterans Day. Admission fees will be waived for all veterans on Nov. 11.

“The Veterans Day waiver is a way for us to thank military veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice,” park district officials said in a statement.

The East Bay Regional Park District operates parks in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.

“The fee waivers do not apply to California state fees such as watercraft inspections and fishing licenses, or to concessions such as the Tilden steam trains,” park district officials said.
