County parks feature new pay stations

Thirteen of the 27 parks in Santa Clara County will have new automated pay stations installed by the end of this month, including Los Gatos Creek, Vasona Lake and Sanborn-Skyline parks. The new Digital Intella-Pay Stations will be easier to use and will include more attractive signage. During the transition phase, the outdated pay stations won't be in service at all.
