Not a big price to pay, imo, to keep it a park and keep it natural.
I am just glad we have one spot in this whole area that doesn't have a friggin' condo on it.
Maybe they will do a 15 dollar year pass? They did that at St. Augustine for the beach passes for Fl residents.

Yeah, I predicted then that a fee was on it's way. I'm all for the fee too, but there should definitely be a annual pass available.

As for a parking charge, I hope they don't do that, because it will have one of two results. Either we'll end up with a lot of people parking down in our spot to avoid the charge, or the park will stop allowing people to park outside of the lots and that just doesn't make sense at all for Desoto. It's really a silly idea anyway, they should just make a single fee to get in.
