Free Admission Today To Florida State Parks
November 11, 2014
There is free entry into all Florida state parks today for everyone in honor of veterans day.
“This Veterans Day, I encourage all Florida families to get out and enjoy Florida’s natural treasures at our wonderful state parks. We also honor our veterans and thank them for their service and sacrifice they gave to protect our state and nation,” said Gov. Rick Scott.
“Veterans Day is a perfect opportunity to visit Florida’s award-winning state parks,” said Donald Forgione, director of the Florida Park Service. “Spend the day hiking, biking or picnicking with a veteran – and most importantly, thank them for their service.”
The free admission includes the Blackwater River State Park and Big Lagoon State Park.
