A foot-operated parkin brake apparatus for a vehicle has a base plate, a pedal lever, a sector gear, and a locking pawl. The base plate has a pivot and is fixed with respect to the body of the vehicle. The pedal lever is rotatably supported by the base plate. By stepping on the pedal lever, the parking brake is applied. The sector gear is provided on the pedal lever. The locking pawl has a covering of resin that covers its surface, a bearing hole that is rotatably supported by the pivot of the base plate, and a meshing surface that meshes with the sector gear. The mating surface and the peripheral surface of the bearing hole are exposed metal surfaces which are not covered with the resin. By a meshing between the sector gear and the locking pawl, the pedal lever is locked at the position to which it has been pressed.
