Why do Coillte charge for car parking at its forest parks?

Coillte charges for car parking at some of our forest parks and all of the money generated is spent directly on the upkeep and maintenance of these areas. At most of our forest parks, Coillte provide family cycle trails, numerous looped walks, children’s playgrounds, toilets, cross-country cycle trails (at some parks), arboreta, visitor information and way-marking, all of which require maintenance on an ongoing basis.  We use the car-parking fees to help defray these annual maintenance costs.

If you are a regular visitor to our forest parks, an annual access card is available for €40. This card allows you to access all of our forest parks every day, year-round and is available to purchase on our website.
