Park service looks to add fees for some Golden Gate recreation area attractions

Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which includes some of the Bay Area’s most iconic recreation sites, might be introducing new fees for select activities in October in order to keep up with park maintenance, according to the National Park Service.

The proposal would increase the rates for overnight camping in Kirby Cove, Bicentennial, Hawk and Haypress locations, along with Kirby Cove day use. Additionally, parking fees would increase or be introduced in four park service-controlled lots in the Presidio. The Fort Point Candlelight tour, which occurs after hours, would no longer be a free tour as well.
