Middletown, N.J. - Gateway National Recreation Area is proposing to increase parking fees in the park. These parking rates would go into effect for the summer of 2021. This would be Gateway’s first parking fee increase since 2012.

Proposed 2021 Fees at Sandy Hook:                                    
$20 per day                                             
$100 per season                                                                                                                      
$50 per oversize car per day                                                     
$200 per oversize car per season 

Visitors with Senior or Access Passes would be charged half price for parking, as they are currently.
                            
 “We are committed to keeping the park affordable while providing visitors with the best possible experience,” said Gateway Superintendent Jen Nersesian.  “The money from the parking fees will help improve our visitor facilities and services.”

Non-beach services at Gateway, such as access to the Sandy Hook Lighthouse and the historic Fort Hancock post area at Sandy Hook, Floyd Bennett Field and Canarsie Pier in Brooklyn, and Fort Wadsworth in Staten Island, will remain free.

Our public engagement period on the proposed fee increase is open until October 16, 2020.
