Parking Information

Beginning Memorial weekend, the Town will be charging a $10 per car parking fee on Saturdays, Sundays, and Memorial Day. This is through Labor Day and a come and go pass. However, to provide a cost reduction to Little Elm residents, a $25 seasonal parking pass is available. This pass is valid any time there are parking fees throughout the summer with the exception of 4th of July. These passes can only be purchased at Little Elm Rec Center.

This is a parking fee, not a park usage fee so patrons have the options of parking outside of the park and walking in or utilizing Efrogs Little Elm, which runs through the summer. There will be no parking charge Monday through Friday.
