I was there yesterday. You need either quarters, dollar coins, or a credit
card to obtain a parking stub at the kiosk. I paid 3.00 for two hours.

Subject: [wisb] Parking at Picnic Point (UW-Madison campus)
A few of you may be aware that the university recently started charging for
parking during the day at the two lots near the base of Picnic Point
(including the Class of 1918 Marsh lot.) The stated reason is that staff
and students were using the lots as free parking during the day, while they
took the free campus bus to work or class.
As I understand it, this is enforced from 7:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.,
Monday-Friday, and costs quite a bit (on the order of $2/hour.) This is
supposedly a "trial" period. While weekend field trips won't be affected,
anyone wanting to bird there during the week will need to pony up or get
ticketed. I'm told that Gary Brown, the Lakeshore Preserve director, has
only gotten two comments so far. If you would like to make your feelings
known on this issue, his email address is:
