Park users may pay more out of pocket

COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE

Some user fees at County Parks will increase slightly for camping, parking, fishing permits, boating rentals, and sport facilities starting Feb. 18. It’s been a decade since fees were raised at County parks.

The increase helps Parks keep pace with ris­ing costs while continuing to deliver best-in-nation outdoor and recreation spaces at a good value when compared to similar park systems.

Most of the fee increases are a few dollars. For example, Day Use Parking will increase from $3.00 per day to $5.00 per day and an RV partial hook-up campsite will increase from $29 to $35. Revising the fees will also make things simpler by including up to two pets and one ex­tra vehicle as part of your camping reservation.

In addition, Parks has programs to expand access to the outdoors and reduce financial bar­riers, including veteran, senior and group dis­counts as well as scholarships and the free First Time Camping Program.

County Parks & Recreation services enhance the quality of life for County residents and visi­tors. They promote health and wellness and safe communities through thousands of pro­grams for all ages and abilities, including 158 facilities across more than 58,000 acres of land and 389 miles of trails.
