Permits are generally sold separately from Membership and are issued in card form. The exception is Angler Membership which combines annual membership benefits with fishing and boat launch permits. Annual Park District Permits can be purchased online, over the phone, by mail, or in-person at Park District Headquarters, and are sold exclusively through the Regional Parks Foundation. Applications for annual park district permits can be submitted at a Visitor Centers or a Regional Park kiosk when open and staffed. Daily use permits are available for purchase in various regional parks during regular business hours.
Please note that applications turned in at a Regional Park, online, over the phone, or by mail have a turn-around time of up to 14 business days before receiving the permit in the mail. No temporary permits are issued during this interim waiting period. If you have an urgent need for your Annual Park District Permit, it is recommended that you purchase it directly at the Park District’s Headquarters where issuance is immediate. Annual Park District Permits are non-transferable and good for one named person only. Permit applications with a P.O. Box as a mailing address stating residency within Alameda or Contra Costa County must provide a verifiable home address within Alameda or Contra Costa Counties in order to receive in-district pricing.
Day-use permits are available in some Regional Parks and Visitor Centers, and are not sold through the Regional Parks Foundation. Please visit the East Bay Regional Park District website at www.ebparks.org for more information regarding day-use permit sales and pricing.
