The Parkway was an entirely different Drive-In on the north end of Petaluma. The address for the Parkway was 280 Stony Point Rd.
Reopened as the Midway Drive-In on December 15th, 1967. Another ad posted.
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….๐๐๐
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.
