Park fees going up, and a VOA update
The Butler County MetroParks board announced yesterday that they’re hiking entrance fees at local parks for next year.
Annual passes for 2009 go on sale Dec. 1 and will cost $7 per vehicle, up from $5 this year. Starting Jan. 1, daily park access will cost $5 per vehicle, up from $2 this year.
MetroParks officials said they’re encouraging transferable hangars over daily passes. The window hangars will stay at $10, can be moved from one vehicle to another and are good all year.
Access to local parks is still free on bicycle or foot. The cost of fishing passes hasn’t changed.
And here is an update on Voice of America Park in West Chester Twp. From the story:
Butler County officials told trustees Tuesday, Nov. 18, they were one step closer to adopting the final plans for the enhancement of Voice of America Park.
A $20 million, 10-year Park Enhancement Plan, which was presented to trustees Tuesday, includes 23 multipurpose playing fields — for soccer, lacrosse, football or other sports — softball and baseball complexes, play structures, restrooms, concession stands and even an amphitheater and several picnic shelters, according to John Granville, MetroParks executive director.
Here is what the park is planned to look like in 10 years, with all the improvements (click on the upper right corner to enlarge):
What do you think of these plans?
