Free East Bay Parks Day (Entrance & Parking Fees Waived) for Juneteenth (2022)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Juneteenth (June 19th) is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Cultural events like Juneteenth celebrate the diversity of our nation and unify the community. To honor this important day, enjoy a Free Park Day in your East Bay Regional Parks and naturalist-led public programs to celebrate and reflect.

The East Bay Regional Park District comprises 73 parks and a system of interpark trails spanning over 125,000 acres in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. Find a park near you.

The Park District is committed to enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion, and making our parks and agency more welcoming and reflective of the communities we serve. Park District fees waived on Juneteenth include park entrance, parking, dogs, horses, boat launching, and fishing. However, the fee waiver does not apply to swimming, camping, reservable picnic facilities (due to capacity limits), District concessions, and state fees for fishing licenses, and watercraft inspections for invasive mussels.

The Park District is celebrating Juneteenth with several naturalist-led programs, including a Hike of Celebration and Reflection at Thurgood Marshall Regional Park – Home of the Port Chicago 50.

• Juneteenth Celebration Hike – 6/19/22 – 10am – Coyote Hills
• Father’s Day & Juneteenth Celebration – 6/19/22 – 11am – Crown Beach
