East Bay’s Free Park Day on Green Friday 2025 (East Bay Regional Parks)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join us on Friday, November 28, 2025 for a Free Park Day in the Regional Parks. Green Friday at the Park District provides healthy and fun ways to enjoy the day after Thanksgiving with family and friends.

On Green Friday, all entrance activity fees are waived in Regional Parks, including parking, horses, boat launching, and fishing, as well as entrance to Ardenwood Historic Farm. However, the fee waiver does not include state fees for fishing licenses and watercraft inspections or concessions such as the Tilden Merry-Go-Round and Redwood Valley Railway steam train.

For the past nine years, the East Bay Regional Park District has celebrated Green Friday to encourage the public to spend time in nature.
