Seniors, at least 62 years old, can park on county parking areas and lots during the weekdays (Holidays excepted) with a $25-per-year permit obtainable from Beaches and Harbors.

The previous cost was minimal but the increase to $25 was authorized by the Board of Supervisors as part of a package of fee increases earlier this year.

“We have processed 3000 passes since 2013,” wrote Carol Baker Department of Beaches and Harbors Community and Marketing Division, and “prior to this, had no mechanism for cost recovery.”

The department has extended the parking privileges to include weekends until 9 am with the exception of holidays and excluding Grand Avenue, Washington Boulevard, Venice Boulevard, Rose Avenue, Will Rogers 1 and Surfrider parking lots. These lots are still available during the weekdays.

To obtain a pass one must present driver’s license and registration of vehicle with $25 (checks, cash, or credit card are accepted.). One can obtain such from Department of Beaches and Harbors, 13837 Fiji Way, Marina del Rey 90292, Monday thru Thursdays from 7 am to 6 pm. Vehicles over 20 feet are excluded.
