County Parks Updates Reservation System
Ventura Breeze
July 28, 2026
Ventura County Parks is rolling out a new reservation system that makes booking your favorite outdoor spots way easier. The updated website now offers online reservations for Distinguished Veterans program members, expands the advance booking window to 180 days for Rincon Parkway, and adds self-service options for Day Use areas and Community Centers. It’s a long-overdue upgrade for anyone who’s ever struggled to snag a campsite or plan a family gathering at a local park.
This change matters because our parks—from the Rincon coastline to inland community spaces—are central to how we enjoy the Central Coast. Whether you’re a veteran taking advantage of the Distinguished Veterans program or just planning a summer picnic, the new system saves time and reduces hassle. Ventura Breeze first shared the news, and it’s a welcome shift toward modern, user-friendly access to our public lands.

VenturaShort-Term Rental Deadlines Set
If you run a short-term vacation rental in Ventura, mark your calendar: August 31 is the deadline to renew your permit under the city's updated STVR ordinance. The Ventura Breeze reports that current permit holders who meet the new requirements are guaranteed renewal through a grandfathering provision—but missing the cutoff means your permit gets canceled. This is a big deal for local hosts who rely on rental income, especially as summer winds down. The updated rules aim to balance tourism with neighborhood quality of life, so it's worth checking the city's website or contacting City Hall if you have questions. Don't let a missed deadline cost you your permit.

The club became the first in Ventura County to bring home two NPL National Championships in the same season, with the Girls 2011 team (coached by Brian “Ziggy” Ziegenhagen) taking the title at the NPL National Finals.
