District sets fees for park use

Large groups wanting to use North Dam Park will be charged according to a new fee schedule approved recently by the Coulee Area Park and Recreation District Commission.

Individual users and small family groups will not be charged, but organizations planning to dominate one or more areas of the park will.

Arranged by area and length of time, a fee schedule grid lays out fees that range from $150 for a fill day of using the picnic shelter and lawn area to $10 for use of an “Electric Plug-In.”

A refundable damage deposit of $200 will also be collected before activities begin.

The fee schedule, which will be published in full at the bottom of this story online, was passed by district commissioners Feb. 10.
