  • Daily fishing permit (Kids ages 4-14): $5/person
  • Holiday fishing permits (All ages): $20/person
  • Fishing pass: $125/year per person (12 visits, excludes holidays and special events. A $180 value)

New swim facility fees

The new swim fees automatically include the waterslides at one price.

  • Daily swim: $15/person (excludes holidays, holiday weekends and special events.)
  • Holiday and holiday weekends: $20/person
  • Kids under age three (3) are free.
  • Must be at least 48” (inches) tall to ride the slides.

In 2024, the Board of Supervisors approved extending Regional Park hours to 8 p.m. during summertime to provide more recreational opportunities to communities.

The department is responsible for the operation of nine regional parks, encompassing approximately 9,200 acres.
