During the past few years, Hidden Falls Regional Park has experienced overflow parking conditions on weekends and holidays. In an effort to assure visitors of a parking space when they arrive, and to reduce the traffic impact on the surrounding neighbors, the County will be implementing an online, reservation-based system of entry beginning on September 1, 2017.

Patrons may begin going online starting August 30th to reserve parking spots for September 1st – October 14th. Since the reservation system will be new to patrons of the park, we want to provide ample time for users to become familiar with the system prior to charging for reservations. Starting October 15th, we will begin collecting fees for reservations made for peak times.

During high volume days (weekends, holidays, and some Fridays) during mild weather seasons (spring, early summer and fall) users will be required to pay $8.00 per vehicle for a full day reservation. Except for some holiday times, there will not be a charge Mondays through Thursdays, nor will a reservation be required on those days.
Patrons need to obtain reservations before arriving at the park via an online calendar linked to our web site. At the end of the reservation process, a parking reservation pass will be issued. Please bring this pass to the park with you, as you will need to place it on the dashboard of your vehicle during your stay at the park.
The website will allow you to see which days require a reservation fee and will allow you to purchase multiple reservations in advance. With a full day reservation, you can arrive and leave any time you please (sunrise to sunset). From experience, we know that the parking lot tends to thin out after about 2:30 in the afternoon, even during days that experience overcrowded conditions earlier in the day. So in order to allow people to take advantage of space left after the parking lot naturally thins out, we are prepared to issue a set number of partial day passes for $4.00 to people wishing to arrive later in the day. We will adjust the number of passes available as we observe parking trends once the new system is up and running, trying to allow as many visitors as the parking lot can comfortably hold.
The horse trailer area will be reserved in the same way as the automobile area (same prices during the same peak days), but it will have its own separate quota of reservations to make sure the full gravel horse trailer area is kept just for trailered vehicles. We have high expectations that the net result of the new system will be a happier experience for everyone who comes to the park, as well as those who live around the entrance to the park, and that the overcrowding problems will become the exception, few and far between.
