[quote=Anonymous]Sigh. Lots of people don't get to live in Fairfax or NW DC or Potomac/Rockville or other affluent neighborhoods with beautiful parks and facilities. A $10 fee like the one at Burke Lake would be prohibitive for lots of people.  I think that one could offer a donation box or even charge - as another poster suggested - a nominal fee of $2 per car or something.

I actually live in one of those nice DC / NW parts of town - we use Clemyjontri about once or twice a month for variety sake -- honestly it would not occur to me to want to keep out someone from McLean who came to the Georgetown Waterpark or Guy Mason or one of our other popular parks for variety sake or because they happen to be in that neighborhood! I am European and we loved all of the public parks we have there. It is something that is lacking in most other regions of the US - and I think it's wonderful that this area of the country has so many free public spaces-- why on earth would we want to teach our children to be possessive of "what's MINE!" rather than to share and share alike?!

By the way, I think that Fairfax County could have an annual fundraiser for repairs if needed and there would be lots of interest - and I'm optimistic that FUNDS from all of DC/MD/and VA would be welcome at such a thing!
