Hawaii expands paid parking to 4 more parks

More and more of Hawaii's parks are adding parking and entry fees for nonresidents. This month, the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources announced that it's implementing a parking management and fee system for four additional state parks. It's not completely unexpected, as Hawaii already charges parking fees for 10 parks - a list that has been growing every year. The department said the change is meant to improve the visitor and resident experience by managing crowds and traffic.
