The entrance to the parking lot at the South Yuba River State Park in Bridgeport on Thursday, June 7, 2012. As a July 1 deadline looms to close dozens of state parks, local groups are scrambling to assemble money and partnerships to keep them operating. The total number slated for closure has fallen closer to 50 from the original 70, thanks to fundraising efforts, new fees and special operating agreements. Also, several new private concession deals may be announced this week to rescue parks including Brannan Island, the only state park and campground in the Delta. In May the park began collecting a $5 daily parking fee for the first time as a way to finance operations. The fee is collected at the Visitor's Center via an "iron ranger" and at a parking area across the river from the visitor's center via a staffed kiosk.

A visitor to South Yuba River State Park self-registers and pays a $5 daily parking fee at an "iron ranger" device when a kiosk is not staffed. The revenue won't be enough to fill staff vacancies or pay for needed repairs, says supervising ranger Don Schmidt.
