Three people have sued the National Park Service over a policy in place at locations across the country.
Three people - including one from Southern California - are suing the National Park Service over its new cashless policy at some of its locations. The lawsuit was filed March 6 by Esther van der Werf of Ojai, California, Toby Stover of High Falls, New York, and Elizabeth Dasburg of Darien, Georgia.
Van der Werf was allegedly denied entry at three different NPS-run locations in Arizona after she tried to pay for her entrance fees in cash. Dasburg claimed she was told via email to go to a grocery store or Walmart and purchase a gift card, which could be accepted at Fort Pulaski National Historic Site in Georgia, instead of cash, the lawsuit states.The cashless policy was put in place at around 29 locations in 2023, including Death Valley National Park in California.
