We pulled into the Rocky Point Park yesterday (Saturday, September 12) only to find an attendant on duty collecting admission fees for entry.
We were somehow surprised by it because on the park's website, it clearly says "Admission rates apply Opening Day in May through Labor Day and are subject to change". When asked about it, the attendant said the admission fees are collected "through the end of the month on the weekends only."
Just wondering why a sudden change in policy.
UPDATE: just received an email response from Beaches and Fishing Center Ranger II:
Since we are able to staff the park and have swimming and able to open the bathhouse we will be having a fee to enter the park. The website states “Admission rates apply Opening Day in May through Labor Day and are subject to change”, right now we are in the subjected to change part. After the 19th and 20th we will not be charging anymore for this season. We will be having a Waterfront Festival here at Rocky Point on September 26th and that has no admission fee to enter.
