Facility Overview

March Air Reserve Base (March ARB) Vehicle Parking at 1870 Graeber Street provides dedicated vehicular parking serving personnel, contractors, reservists, and authorized visitors traveling to the administrative and operational sectors of the base in Riverside County, California. Configured as an open-air, ground-level surface parking area, the lot features wide driving aisles and clearly designated spaces. Because it is an outdoor facility with no overhead canopies or clearance bars, it easily accommodates all manner of standard passenger cars, oversized pickup trucks, large SUVs, and utility service vans without vertical height restrictions.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Situated within the historic grounds of March Air Reserve Base between Moreno Valley and Riverside, this parking location is centrally positioned near key base facilities, support services, and regional landmarks:

• March Field Air Museum: Located just outside the perimeter along Van Buren Boulevard (5 to 7 minutes drive), featuring an iconic collection of historic military aircraft.
• Riverside National Cemetery: Approximately 2.5 miles south, serving as one of the largest active national cemeteries in the nation.
• March ARB Exchange & Commissary: Accessible within a few minutes across the installation for authorized patrons.

• Moreno Valley Mall & Town Center: Roughly a 10-minute drive north via the freeway, offering comprehensive shopping, dining, and hospitality options.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Because the facility is located on an active Department of Defense installation, base access protocols apply. Visitors and personnel must enter March Air Reserve Base through designated security control checkpoints, primarily via the Main Gate off Cactus Avenue or the Graeber/Elsworth access points depending on current gate schedules. The installation connects immediately to Interstate 215 (I-215), facilitating seamless travel north toward Riverside and San Bernardino or south toward Perris and Temecula, as well as rapid connection to State Route 60. Regional bus lines operated by the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) serve nearby external corridors, though personal vehicle transportation remains the primary and most efficient mode of travel on base.

Visitor & Driver Tips

All visitors and non-credentialed drivers must stop at the March ARB Visitor Control Center (typically located at the Cactus Avenue Gate) to secure an authorized vehicle pass before proceeding to Graeber Street. Ensure you have a valid REAL ID or passport, current vehicle registration, and proof of active insurance ready for inspection upon entry. Observe strictly posted speed limits throughout the base, as military security forces routinely enforce traffic regulations. During drill weekends and unit training assemblies, arrive early to secure preferred spaces closer to facility entrances.
