I don't pay anything to use local parks, but they are public. THere are some state parks with campgrounds nearby, but they only charge if you're a camper.
The one I use has trails all through it, and a nice sprinting hill, and a play ground, a baseball diamond with a big open flat field, and a large grassy area with a light in the middle of it which is fortunately on at 5:30 am in the winter months so I can see. We've got 'em all over the place around here. I can't imagine a park wanting to charge people to want to use it for what it was designed for... public recreation!
