I read in the local paper the annual budget for the park is $170,000 per year. This is equal to the cost of $3,500 per week every week year round. I would like for someone to post the make-up of this budget. To keep the park open the park has to make a profit. A profit equals income less expenses. It must increase income and decrease expenses.

It’s a nice park. I only go every few years, so I understand I am part of the problem but hope they are successful in keeping it open and well used.

Little River is an amazing park with so many things to do. My husband and I often took out 3 children tent camping. One night it stormed so badly in the middle of the night.we had to take the kids and park under a picnic pavillion till the storm passed. Those are wonderful memories of close family fun. It would be a shame to close the park and have other families miss out on the memories to be made. As it was it was sad when the raft had to be removed and never replaced. The park needs to stay open it is a haven to the people who live in the area and those beyond.

The Alabama Forestry Commission could raise the day use fees to$3.00-$5.00 for adults and $1.00 for children. THEN, they could have someone at the booth to collect this money. The “honor” system doesn’t work in today’s society. However, the AFC isn’t well known for proper management of money.
