Last Friday, the state began charging a $3 parking fee for nonresidents at the Pali Lookout. Hawai'i residents who show a local ID continue to park for free. A parking attendant is on duty at the pay booth to check IDs. The new parking fee is part of a new program by state Department of Land and Natural Resources to raise funds to help support maintenance and repairs at state parks, small boat harbors and forest trails. Nu'uanu Pali is one of the most-visited state parks, with more than 900,000 visitors per year.
