Now there is no entry fee for Marin County Parks!

The Marin County Board of Supervisors recently approved the elimination of entry and boat launch fees for Marin County Park’s 65 locations. View List

The fees, which had been $5.00 per passenger vehicle, were eliminated to encourage visits by individuals and families who may not normally visit county parks because fees were seen as a limiting factor. The move had been recommended by the County’s Parks and Open Space Commission and Parks’ Equity Roundtable participants. Parks told the Board that the fee elimination will result in an estimated $397,855 loss in annual income. Any loss in revenue will be covered by Measure A, a countywide quarter-cent sales tax approved by voters, to the extent laws allow.
