Regional Parks Implements New Public Counter Hours Effective August 1

Effective August 1, 2010, the remaining Regional Parks public counter, located at 4040 Bradshaw Road, will now be open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The counter will be closed on Sundays and Mondays. On the days that the public counter is closed, the Regional Parks business/information line, (916) 875-6961, will go to voicemail that will be monitored once a day. The park ranger dispatch number, (916) 875-PARK (7275) will continue to be answered.

“Due to budget reductions, we have had to make some difficult decisions about what services we can provide with the resources available, and we need to reduce our hours to ensure that parks staff is working as efficiently as possible” said Janet Baker, Regional Parks Director.

Visitors to the Regional Parks public counter can purchase annual parks passes, make picnic reservations, purchase maps, ask general questions and speak with park rangers and staff. Annual passes can also be purchased at the Parks website and at any park entry kiosk.
