Detroiters approve Belle Isle admissions fee by 9 to 1 ratio, says Councilman Tate

The annual State Park Pass is $10. This is the cost of 2.5 gallons of gas. PER year! When you consider this also opens the doors to countless other parks its a bargain.

$29 per year for non-residents, or $8 per day, while Ohio's state parks offer free entry to both residents and non-residents. I already have my Michigan non-resident recreation passport, but I would be reluctant to shell out that much money for a quick visit to the island.

The $$ that you've already paid would also cover the "quick visit to the island"... assuming, of course, that the City Council goes along with the lease plan as is.
