Born in Santa Barbara

Coast Park was founded by Santa Barbara native Parker Peterson after returning home from ten years of service in the United States Air Force as a Pararescueman.

The same principles of service, accountability, and attention to detail that guided his military career continue to shape Coast Park's approach today.

Coast Park combines local ownership and oversight with the experience and resources of a broader Southern California family of parking companies, bringing decades of parking management expertise to the clients and communities we serve throughout Santa Barbara and Southern California.

We’re proud to call Santa Barbara home and believe local properties deserve parking operators who are present, accountable, and invested in the community—not just the contract.
