County Waives Park Fees For Veterans, Military Personnel And Their Families

In honor of Memorial Day, admission fees and vehicle entrance fees have been waived to the regional park facilities on May 23-25, 2009, for Veterans and their families. The motion, introduced by Supervisor Don Knabe, was unanimously approved today by the Board of Supervisors.

“As Memorial Day approaches, it is important that we recognize the many contributions that Veterans and their families have made for our great County over the years,” said Supervisor Knabe. “We owe them many freedoms that we have today, and they truly deserve the honor and respect of their fellow Americans.”

All Veterans, military personnel and their immediate families are invited to visit the following Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation facilities from May 23 through May 25, 2009:
