June 15, 2009 -- If a shortage of funds kept you from visiting V.I. National Park's Trunk Bay on St. John or Christiansted National Historic Site on St. Croix, three fee-free weekends may help. Fees are waived Saturday and Sunday and the weekends of July 18 and 19, as well as Aug. 15 and 16.
The Christiansted fee waiver is the result of a move by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to provide an economic stimulus to parks across the country.
"National Parks also serve as powerful economic engines for local communities, and we hope that promoting visitation will give a small shot in the arm to businesses in the area," Salazar said in a news release.
