Public access to forest parks and other State forest amenity areas throughout the country is free. However, at the forest parks a small charge is imposed on car owners at busy week-ends and goes towards the cost of providing car-parking and supervisory facilities. The approximate amounts collected from this source in 1981 and 1982 were £27,000 and £38,000 respectively.
