Your Fee Dollars at Work

The National Park Service collects recreation fees under the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA). Recreation fees provide a vital source of revenue for improving facilities and services for park visitors.

Eighty percent of recreation fees improve the parks in which they are collected and the remaining twenty percent is distributed systemwide. Your dollars will rehabilitate trails, stabilize historic buildings on Alcatraz Island, construct new restrooms, restore native plants, replace dilapidated information kiosks, improve accessibility, provide park brochures, upgrade park roads, and the list continues to grow.
