SIUSLAW NEWS | SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2021 | 3B Oregon State Parks and Recreation booking window changes to six months Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) bagen accept- ing new reservations from one day to six months ahead begin- ning this past Thursday. The change is the lat- est step in managing future reservations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Early last summer, the reservation book- ing window temporari- ly changed from one day to two weeks, then to 30 days, while OPRD A weekly roundup of shopping, savings and doings around town.

In nor- mal times, the reserva- tion window is one day to nine months. “A shorter reserva- tion window helps us deal with the uncer- tainty posed by state management of the COVID-19 emergency, and the financial hit of changing, canceling and refunding reserva- tions,” said Lisa Sumption, director of OPRD. State parks are fund- ed by revenue from park visitors, a small share of the Oregon Lottery, and a portion of state recreational vehicle registrations. “Although revenue stopped during the two-month closure and continues to be less than what we’ve earned in past years, we’ve adjusted our operations and now are comfort- able extending the res- ervation booking win- dow,” she said. “All of us extend a heartfelt thank you to our visi- tors as we continue to evaluate our operations to better serve campers and day-use visitors as we head into the spring and summer.” In addition to the reservation booking window change, all new campsite, yurt and cabin openings will become available at 6 a.m. each day rather than midnight. This minor change is being made to improve cus- tomer service. “No more staying up to midnight to make an online reservation,” Sumption said. “If you try to reserve a site beyond the 30-day window at midnight Jan. 14, you will see the sites marked with an ‘X’ for unavailable. All available sites will be marked with an ‘A’ at 6 a.m., Jan. 14, and each day going forward. More changes to the reservation window are possible as the year goes on. Oregon State Parks reservations are accept- ed online, and by phone at 800-452-5687, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday (closed holidays). Aquarium says Marcia H. Randall, founder and Board Chair of the Marcia H. Randall Foundation. “Their mission is so much more than wel- coming visitors. In fact, their 2019 school out- reach program alone reached over 30,000 stu- dents in 120 schools and four states. Many of these students would not have the opportuni- ty to visit the Aquarium to learn about the importance of the ocean and its natural habitat. By supporting the Aquarium’s capital cam- paign efforts, we are ensuring the future of the Aquarium is bright and their educational programming will expand.” Donations of any amount are welcome and can be made on our capital campaign web- site https://www. givetoaquarium.org.
