The Gerald T. Parmeter Memorial Park is operated by the Cazadero Community Services District. Named in honor of local Gold Star Vietnam veteran Sergeant Gerald Thomas Parmeter, the park features a playground and open recreational space lovingly cared for by the District.
Gerald T. Parmeter Memorial Park is a cherished gathering place at the heart of Cazadero, created to honor the memory of Gerald Parmeter, a long-time community leader and advocate for local services. The park was established as a welcoming space for families, neighbors, and visitors, offering recreational facilities where the community can come together for events, play, and relaxation. Over the years, it has become not only a recreational hub but also a symbol of Cazadero’s commitment to preserving a sense of small-town spirit and togetherness.
The history of the park reflects the dedication of the Cazadero Community Services District and its residents, who wanted to create a lasting tribute to Parmeter’s years of service and leadership. By naming the park in his honor, the community ensured that his legacy—of civic involvement, volunteerism, and care for Cazadero’s people—would live on for generations. Today, Gerald T. Parmeter Memorial Park continues to serve as a focal point for local celebrations, from seasonal festivals to neighborhood gatherings, embodying the values of stewardship and community pride that defined Parmeter’s contributions to Cazadero.
