Parks free Sunday
The East Bay Regional Park District is holding a Free Park Day on Sunday (June 18) in honor of Juneteenth, the federal holiday that recognizes when the final Black American slaves were freed in Texas on June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
“The district is committed to enhancing diversity, equity and inclusion, and making our parks and agency more welcoming and reflective of the communities we serve,” EBRPD officials said about Free Park Day, which is held a day before the holiday to maximize potential participation on a weekend.
The fee waiver applies to park entrance, parking, dogs, horses, boat launching and fishing, but it does not include swimming, camping, reservable picnic facilities, concessions, state fees for fishing licenses or watercraft inspections.

The public meetings, both being hosted via Zoom, are set for 7 p.m. next Wednesday (June 21) and 6 p.m. Thursday (June 22). For more information, go to dublin.ca.gov
