The National Park Service (NPS) is accepting public comments through October 30, 2014 on the second phase of proposed fee increases for picnic pavilions at Rock Creek and Fort Dupont Parks. Under the proposal, a half day reservation would cost $45 beginning January 1, 2015. Fee changes will fund the picnic areas’ upkeep and improve the level of service provided to visitors. https://www.nps.gov/rocr/learn/news/rock-creek-park-and-ft-dupont-park-propose-2d-phase-picnic-fee-increases.htm
