RPV Launches Online Parking Reservation System For Portuguese Bend Reserve

Rancho Palos Verdes — The City of Rancho Palos Verdes, June 22, announced it will launch an online parking reservation system starting July 6, for Del Cerro Park and the popular Portuguese Bend Reserve.

Visitors will be able to use the ParkMobile website or mobile app to reserve parking spaces on Crenshaw Boulevard south of Crest Road and on Park Place, near the Rattlesnake and Burma Road Trailheads.

The system is being implemented to manage parking and improve traffic flow in the Del Cerro Park area. It’s one of several strategies employed by the City to strike a balance between accommodating public access to hiking trails and minimizing traffic impacts to neighboring residents. ParkMobile reservations will be required for all 60 spaces on Crenshaw Boulevard south of Crest Road and on Park Place and must be made by 11:59 p.m. the night before your visit. Visitors will not be able to park and then reserve their spot. Reservations will be limited to blocks of two hours and 45 minutes from 7 a.m. to an hour after sunset (shorter or longer blocks of time will not be available when the system launches). Reservations will be free of charge until August 2, when parking will be $10 per reservation block and can be paid using ParkMobile. An additional $0.35 processing fee will apply.

Parking will be free from 7 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. on weekdays. Street parking on Crenshaw Boulevard north of Crest Road will remain free and will not require reservations.

Fifteen spaces on Park Place adjacent to Del Cerro Park remain available to those who hold a Residential Recreational Parking Permit. Permit holders will also need to reserve these spaces (in Zone A) using ParkMobile ahead of their visit. Two additional ADA spaces on Park Place do not require Residential Recreational Parking Permits, but will require ParkMobile reservations.

Visitors can make parking reservations on a mobile web browser or by downloading the free ParkMobile app for iOS or Android devices from the App Store or Google Play. Reservations can also be made by calling ParkMobile Member Services at 866-330-7275.

The Portuguese Bend Reserve is the largest of 12 reserves in the 1,400-acre Palos Verdes Nature

Preserve. The primary purpose of the Preserve is conservation, and passive recreation is permitted as long as it does not negatively impact natural resources. Visitors are reminded to follow all Preserve rules, regulations and posted access restrictions, keep dogs on leash, stay on trails, and pack out all trash.
