Oregon State Parks 12-month parking permit sale during December.

An Oregon Parks and Recreation Department release said shoppers can buy the annual parking permits for only $25 from December 1st through December 31st. That is a $5 saving over the regular price. The permit is good for 12 months starting in the month of purchase at the 25 parks that currently charge for parking.

The annual permit is an even better option for frequent park visitors in 2025, when day-use parking fees will increase from $5 to $10 on January 2nd.

Purchasing permits is easy. Visitors can buy them online at the Oregon State Parks store: https://store.oregonstateparks.org/  They are also available at select park stores, park visitor centers, and local businesses throughout the state.
