You have to pay for State Parks in Cali? That's absurd

state parks often do, they are usually on the honor system and require you to put money in an envelope and put it in a drop box

Yeah around here we pay for it if we were gonna like rent a cabin or something at the state park but it's literally a govt service so it's free to just like go there and hang out... very surprised to hear that isn't the case everywhere.

Not if you have a library card! But the fees go to help keep them clean and well maintained, which they need more when they're used more. Of course they also get funding directly from taxes.

Unfortunately, this is only true for a (substantial) subset of state parks. I wish they were all participating, but they're not.

Why do you think its absurd?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Places like parks and libraries are places where you can expect to go without the expectation of paying money. If I visit as a person from out of town I shouldn't have to go get a library card to get into a park for free in my opinion.

There are states that don't charge for state parks?
