Please join park staff and planners to learn about and discuss the proposed fee increase. You are welcome anytime during the hours identified below.

 
Description:
The National Park Service updated the entrance fee schedule, which had not changed since 2008, in 2014. Currently, only 120 of the 417 National Park Service units collect entrance fees.
• There continues to be a growing need for funds to improve facilities, infrastructure and visitor services in parks.

• The new revenue from the fee increases will be used to provide enhanced visitor services including repair and maintenance of facilities, capital improvements, enhanced amenities, resource protection and additional visitor programs and services. There will be an emphasis on park-deferred maintenance projects.
