Welcome to Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park. This relatively new National Park was established in 2000 and is still under development.  The park staff is currently working with the City of Richmond, Contra Costa County and other park partners to preserve the historic World War II resources in Richmond.

During this initial developmental phase, the park has limited visitor services and no visitor center.

The Rosie the Riveter Memorial in Marina Bay Park is fully accessible and open year round, dawn to dusk, as are the other Richmond city parks within the National Park's boundries.

The SS Red Oak Victory Ship was built in the Kaiser Shipyards in Richmond. It is located in in Historic Shipyard #3 in the Port of Richmond and is open Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday; 10:00am to 3:00pm. A PASSPORT STAMP STATION is on the Ship. (The ship has a steep gangplank, and is not fully accessible).

The other sites of the park are in private ownership and/or not open to the public at this time. However, their exteriors can be viewed.

Due to the upcoming move of our administrative offices, our temporary Visitor Center will be unavailable from April 22 to August 1, 2009. We apologize for any inconvenience during our move. If you visit the park, and would like a passport stamp sent to you in the mail, please leave your name, address and the date you visited on our 510-232-5050 visitor information line.
