State Parks waive entry fees on Sunday

You can visit Florida’s state parks for free this Sunday in honor of National Military Appreciation Month. The cost of a day pass will be waived on Sunday, May the 16th at all of Florida’s 160 state parks.

All other use fees, such as overnight accommodations, tours or special events, will be charged as usual.

The free entry into the parks is only one way Florida State Parks support veterans and members of the United States Armed Forces. The park system also flies the POW-MIA flag and works closely with Operation Purple, a camp program for children of military parents.

The Orman House Historic State Park in Apalachicola is home to the only replica of the Three Servicemen statue at the Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Other local state parks include The St. George Island State Park, The Bald Point State Park and Gorrie Museum in Apalachicola as well as the Ochlocknee River State Park in Wakulla County and the St. Joe Peninsula State Park in Gulf County.
