The thing is that most of the kids belonging to those organizations are the ones who can least afford it. Shame.

You can buy a year pass for about $25. This gets you into several as well. I do think the fee is high for your parks. I can see why the families are complaining. - Ashley Maggie - We have a few open spaces that charge a parking fee but it is only $2 per car on weekends or a $1 during the week.

This all happened because of the supposed tax relief (which, as you well know, hasn't happened). South Florida has areas where property taxes have more than TRIPLED in the last 5 years. But we haven't seen a tripling of services. It's rampant mismanagement of the citizens' money, and I am not talking about Palmetto Bay per se. I think a little tightening of the pursestrings is in order, not looking for ways to build up revenue. Susie - I personally do not think the Village should be charging a use fee for the park.

I don't see the fee(s) being charged as unreasonable. A few dollars to visit a park like this one in Palmetto Bay is a very inexpensive form of entertainment.
