End of summer parking fees for all Bullhead City Parks from now, September 17, 2023 until April 2024.
The City of Bullhead City is announcing the end of summer season parking fees. Beginning Sunday, September 17, and lasting through April, visitors from all over can drive into and park in Bullhead City Community Park without paying. Parking in the north parking lot at the family fun zone will also be free beginning September 17.
“We had a great summer season. We had a lot of busy weekends and made memorable impressions upon thousands of visitors we look forward to seeing again next year,” said Bullhead City Manager Toby Cotter. “Now is the time for us to transition our focus on our community events and activities.”
Cotter stated all revenue made from parking fees is put directly back into new amenities in the park. He pointed out recent improvements, including the family fun zone, new splash pad, Bullhead Belle, new bridge/culvert to access the south beach, commercial boat launch, expanded beaches, and artificial turf - all totaling more than $4 million.
The season transition marks the first opportunity since the opening of the Bullhead Belle for those living outside of Bullhead City limits to visit the new amenity without paying for parking.
“If you haven’t visited the Belle yet, you’re missing out,” said Marketplace Manager Canden Stanely. “Our patio has the best view of the Colorado River, and our food and beverages are amazing!”
Stanley also hinted at future surprises to bring guests to the Belle. “We’re not announcing anything yet other than our intentions to make the Belle your favorite place to enjoy a bite to eat in Bullhead City.”
Everyone is encouraged to take advantage of free parking during the off-season and enjoy Bullhead City’s parks.
“This is a great time of year to visit Bullhead City Parks,” said Parks and Recreation Superintendent David Heath. “It’s still warm enough to enjoy some water activities, including our brand-new splash pad. It’s cool enough to enjoy an outdoor beach volleyball or basketball game, and there’s no better place to enjoy the outdoors than our parks.”
