Colorado Parks and Wildlife announces the Daily Vehicle Park Pass fee for each of Colorado’s 41 state parks will increase by one dollar effective Sunday.
A Daily Vehicle Park Pass is now $9 for most parks, $10 for Chatfield, Boyd Lake and Eldorado Canyon state parks and $11 for Cherry Creek (because of the Cherry Creek Water Basin Authority fee). Annual Park Pass and Commercial Park Pass entrance fees will remain unchanged.
The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission approved the daily vehicle pass fee increase in January to help CPW manage the rise in property maintenance needs and operational costs associated with the growing number of park visitors.
As per the Future Generations Act, additional money from park license sales, passes and permits will go towards improving Colorado parks, lands and recreation. The bill also requires annual reporting of how fee increases are used; the 2019 Future Generations Act Report is available on the CPW website.
