State Parks Permits On-Line, Nov. 10

The ATV permit and Oregon State Parks day-use parking permits are now available for online purchase at www.oregonstateparks.org. On the website, follow the ‘Shop’ link to buy the 24-month ATV permit and 12- or 24-month day-use parking permit from the Park Store. “We’re expanding our online services in response to visitor comments and requests,” said Lisa Sumption, director of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. “In the coming months, we’ll offer additional items in our Park Store that we believe will appeal to our park visitors.” The 12-month parking permit is $30 and the 24-month parking permit is $50. Both are honored at all 26 Oregon State Parks that charge a day-use parking fee. The $10 ATV permit must be displayed on ATVs operated on public lands designed for ATV use. Park Store purchases can be made using a VISA or MasterCard. The permanent permits and day-use permit hangtags are delivered via U.S. mail at no cost to the customer. Customers should print the temporary permit attached to the Park Store e-mail receipt so they can visit a park or ride an ATV that day. The temporary permit is valid 14 days from the purchase date and is designed to fit on a vehicle dashboard or kept with visitors operating motorcycles, open vehicles and ATVs. Day-use parking permits and ATV permits are also available from permit agents statewide.
