cxagent | www.bikemojo.com
A Travis County Park Manager asked this be passed along. I consider it nice and helpful that the Park Managers try to let us know ahead of time. Consider yourself informed.
Could you help us spread the word that the prices for Annual Permits to Travis County Parks, like Reimers Ranch and Pace Bend, will be increasing on January 1?
The new prices are the following:
Annual Permit for Resident of Travis County – $125
Annual Permit for Non-Resident of Travis County – $200
Duplicate Annual Permit – $75
The $5 surcharge will not apply to people who have Annual and Duplicate Annual Permits.
These price increases go into effect on January 1, 2018. We recommend people consider purchasing their Annual Permits before January 1, especially if they live outside of Travis County.
