New restroom constructed at Fort Point.

The National Park Service collects Recreation Fees under the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA). Recreation Fees provide a vital source of revenue for improving facilities and services for park visitors.

 
New Chapel Trail at Fort Baker.

Steve Griswold - NPS

The new Chapel Trail at Fort Baker.

Eighty percent of Recreation Fees improve the parks in which they are collected and the remaining twenty percent is distributed systemwide. Your dollars will rehabilitate trails, stabilize historic buildings on Alcatraz Island, construct new restrooms, restore native plants, replace dilapadated information kiosks, improve accessibility, provide park brochures, upgrade park roads, and the list continues to grow.

Geologists sometimes call Franciscan pillow basalt “greenstone” because it contains green minerals formed in an interaction between the basalt and hot, mineral-rich seawater.
