The Parkway was an entirely different Drive-In on the north end of Petaluma. The address for the Parkway was 280 Stony Point Rd.

That grand opening ad from 1983 lied then. It opened as the Parkway Auto Movies on June 24th, 1964.

Incorrect Rivest! There were 4 (!) Adult Drive ins in Northern California…

1) the Midway/Sonomarin in Petaluma

2) Westlane in Davis

3) Parkway also in Petaluma

4) the Notorious SJAM San Josรจ Auto Movie

Outside of NorCal: Vista, Malaga/Fresno, Oaks/Pussycat (!) in Paso Robles. There wre many more that x rated non porn also….๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

It’s on the border of Sonoma and Marin counties. A lot of stuff in Petaluma was Sonomarin because of this.

Why the name Sonomarin?

The site is now a flood control lake.

This reopened as the Sonomarin Adult Drive-In on April 1st, 1983. It was the only adult drive-in in Northern California.

Two links with various history & info about the Sonomarin Midway Drive-In Theatre. The latter with projection booth photos.
