Military members and Veterans will receive free boat launching and parking Nov. 10 - Nov. 16 at Solano County parks, said Mr. Stephen Pierce, Solano County Public Communications Officer

Active-duty, Reserve military members, along with veterans and military retirees and their families can enjoy a free week of boat launching and parking at Solano County parks on the week of Veterans Day.

The fee waiver is good from Saturday, Nov. 10 - Friday, Nov. 16 at Lake Solano County Park located west of Winters, Sandy Beach County Park near Rio Vista and Belden's Landing boat launch near Suisun City.

The fee waiver is offered to all who present a valid military identification card, a Solano County Veteran Discount Card, honorable discharge record (DD-214 or World War II service record) or Veterans Affairs identification card at Lake Solano, Belden's Landing, and Sandy Beach County Parks. Lynch Canyon Open Space is closed for the season. Both County residents and non-residents are eligible.

This is the third year the County has waived fees for Veterans Day to honor active-duty military, veterans and their families. This year the Board expanded the fee waiver from a weekend event to a week long opportunity. During this week, the usual $5 daily parking fee and $5 boat launch fee will be waived for veterans. Camping, group picnic pad, and other fees still apply.

Veteran Discount ID cards are issued at the Veteran Services Office on the fourth floor of the County Administration Center, 675 Texas St. in Fairfield. To get a Veteran Discount ID card, honorably discharged veterans should present a copy of their DD-214.
