Purchase a Metro annual parks pass for free parking at Oxbow and Blue Lake Regional Parks, Chinook Landing Marine Park and the M. James Gleason Boat Ramp. Use this link to Metro's secure online store (
http://store02.prostores.com/servlet/oregonmetro/C...rt_id=29337257). Regular passes are $40; senior passes are $30 and are good for the calendar year. Passes are not discounted depending on the time of year you purchase them or transferable to other vehicles. If you don’t plan on coming to any of Metro parks more than 8 times from now until the end of December 2012, you should wait until January 2013 when next year’s annual passes are for sale.
