Parks staff propose fee increases; shooting‑range users ask for more input and improvements

Nov 24, 2025

Parks and Recreation proposed modest, mostly $5–$15 fee increases and structural changes to reservations; shooting‑range users supported fee increases only if revenues are reinvested in drainage, bays and safety upgrades and asked for more public input before finalization.

The full story

Parks and Recreation staff presented a package of proposed fee changes Nov. 24 to standardize rental rates across county parks and partially offset rising maintenance costs. Proposed changes include modest increases (typically $5; up to $15 for larger pavilions), creation of two reservable ranges at the county shooting range with tiered fees, a special‑event permit for groups over 60 people, and authorization to add a historic pavilion rental at 5 Mile.
