Annual Passes Additional Comments
Fee Fee Change
Proposed changes for Annual Passes includes increased fees for passes and removal of the current multiple pass types. This proposal creates one pass type where additional
services that were previously a different pass type are added (i.e. boating and archery). The main annual pass will now allow access to all Maricopa County Parks, including
Lake Pleasant, where the previous system separates Lake Pleasant and Mountain Park passes. These changes eliminate confusion on what type of pass is accepted at what
park. The Department is also introducing a Disabled Veteran Discount in conjunction with our request to increase the fees for Annual Pass holders.

Camping Fees Additional Comments
Fee Fee Change
Proposed increases for camping fees are recommended. Single site use fees would increase while the reservation, cancellation, and transfer/change fees will remain the
same. The Department is also proposing changes to group and youth camping. Fees would now be charged based on group size rather than a per youth or per unit fee. This
allows reduced administrative oversight and decreases fees for larger youth and group camping opportunities.
