Parks Manager Mike Russell says, “Our goal is to open Lane County Parks to all without charging a parking fee, to encourage folks to get out and enjoy the wonderful natural resource of our public spaces.” He adds, “We thought it would be pretty special to invite the public to come and spend Father’s Day outdoors with free admission to all Lane County Parks. Enjoy a memorable hike at Mt. Pisgah, listen to good music by local performers at Orchard Point Park on Fern Ridge Reservoir, or spend the afternoon with your pet at the free Pet Clinic at Armitage Park. Come and experience any Lane County park and swim in the lake, boat on the river, access the beach, or you can just hang out and enjoy a picnic lunch with friends and family.”
Lane County has over 70 park facilities throughout Lane County that offer a variety of outdoor recreation opportunities. Typically, parking fees are charged to park vehicles at all Lane County Parks to help fund Parks operations and maintenance activities, but not on Sunday, June 17, 2012.
