COUNTY WAIVES PARK FEES FOR VETERANS,

MILITARY PERSONNEL AND THEIR FAMILIES

 

LOS ANGELES, November 3, 2010 – In honor of Veterans Day, admission fees and vehicle entrance fees have been waived to the regional park facilities on November 6-13, 2010, for Veterans and their families.  The motion, introduced by Supervisor Don Knabe, was unanimously approved today by the Board of Supervisors.  This fee waiver follows on Supervisor Knabe’s earlier motion for a fifty percent discount off greens fees for Veterans at County golf courses on November 11, which was approved earlier this month.

 

“On Veterans Day we pay tribute to the sacrifice of the men and women in our military who have courageously served our country and protected the many freedoms we enjoy today,” said Supervisor Knabe.  “We also owe a debt of gratitude to their families, who share in this sacrifice and who 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 November 6 through November 13, 2010, free of charge with proper identification:
