In these economic times, we’re all looking for ways to save money. My local television station actually announces free and discounted services as part of their nightly news broadcast. I wrote recently about how economical an overnight stay is at a Virginia State Park. Day visits are even more economical. Where else can you take the family for a $2-$5 parking fee for the whole day?
Frequent state park visitors save even more money. For $61 per year, you get an all access pass for Virginia State Parks: unlimited visits (parks are open 365 days of the year), unlimited hiking, unlimited scenic beauty, plus a 10% discount oncamping, 10% discount on state park merchandise, 10% discount on equipment rentals (may not apply to non-park operated concessions), 10% discount on shelter and amphitheater rentals. Or, if you just visit the park closest to you, $36 will buy a one park pass.
Many of our parks offer lake or pool swimming in the summer for an extra fee. Our parks offer discount coupon books for swimming that save as much as 50% off the standard swimming rates.
To order you annual parking pass with credit card, call 800-933-7275. If you would like to pay by check, simply visit the State Park near you or print this Parking Pass Application Form and mail it in.
