点评:I have been going to Allaire State Park for over 50 years. Forever it was that a carload paid one price and you could go to the village, go on the trails and/or picnic. Today 10/29/23, I went to Allaire and there was no charge for parking (which I didn't expert there to be anyway as it is off season). However, as I meandered towards the village, I was informed there was a charge to go into the village. I was so flabbergasted that I didn't even ask what the fee was. I asked why it wasn't posted up at the parking lot and was informed that it's because parking is free. Ok????? I was informed that it was "free" to roam the village on certain weekdays (not an advantage for people who work) and there was no indication as to whether the village sites would be open on weekdays. To say I was disgusted is an understatement. This State is nothing but a money grab. Seriously, I have to pay to watch Volunteers give a lesson in history and, better yet, I have to pay to go buy something from either the General Store or the Bakery??? Whoever came up with this plan is a genius. Perhaps they can market it to shopping malls -- pay to come shop here! The parking lot today was rather empty and with this new strategy to get more money, I suspect it will get emptier and emptier until it is no longer viable and some creep will buy up the property and build overpriced homes on it.
