Park Fee Notification
On Sunday, April 4th 2010 the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority will charge a fee of $10.00 per car to enter Algonkian Regional Park or other designated parking areas established that day for park use. Attendance on this day is expected to be significantly higher than normal and all fees collected will go to help offset some of the additional expenses the park incurs. These expenses include the addition of public toilets and trash services to accommodate the larger crowds, and the increased level of staff needed to accommodate the day’s park operations.
Please note that entrance into the park on this day is not guaranteed because of capacity limits as they relate to park infrastructure and public safety. In the past park capacity has been reached quickly forcing the closure of the park to all vehicle traffic so please plan accordingly. Re-entry to the park once it has been closed due to capacity will not be permitted.
Located on the scenic Potomac shore, Algonkian Regional Park is the perfect place for an afternoon of fun in the sun, a family vacation or even your wedding. The park includes Downpour! (a large waterpark complex), a par-72 golf course, miniature golf, trails, a boat launch, picnic shelters, vacation cottages, and a versatile meeting center.
