While many have to pay to access any of the dozens of parks across the country, there is a group that has been granted free admission.

It's just a free trial for new people . Like getting the first month free on a streaming service except it's for a year . If they like it they will have to start paying eventually. Also if it's like the ones near where I live anyone can go without paying you will just get a little notice on your car saying you should be to keep the parks funded

Everyone up to the age of 17, I believe.
