...Spring Diving and Equestrian visitors will now be admitted by paying the daily park admission fee.....

I think that's $6 per car.

The entrance fees vary from park to park. This is the most recent info for Peacock.

"$4.00 per vehicle. Please use the honor box to pay fees. Correct change is required. Limit 8 people per vehicle"

"$2.00 Pedestrians, bicyclists, extra passengers, passengers in vehicle with holder of Annual Individual Entrance Pass."

I love this new policy......

Cheers,

I'm...ok with this

I wonder how many divers were paying the daily $15 fee and will now be paying the $4 fee. I wonder how this $11 per person decrease in revenue (more if it's multiple divers in a car) is going to affect the parks? At parks like Peacock where the divers greatly outnumber the non-divers, the number could be significant. Regardless of what one might think about whether we "deserve" the new fee structure or what, a sudden drop in revenue is certainly bound to attract attention. Just thinking in print

Its pretty awesome that we went from paying an obnoxious additional charge(that then grew, AND later wasn't covered by the FL Park Pass), to less altogether.

I was thinking this too. Prior to getting the annual pass I recall paying the base entry fee per car; and then a per diver rate as well. If I was overpaying, It was due to not understanding the breakdown. I'll chock it up to a donation to the parks.

That's what I was doing..... ($15.00 per day to the Iron Ranger).... I will check with the park HQ before my next visit.... Things may have changed yet again!

I dove at Blue Spring State Park today in Orange City. No fee. Ranger told me without my even asking. I am pushing legislation with my State Representative to make this permanent.
