Californians Can Now Check Out a Free Parks Pass…from the Library!
August 15, 2022
From our vantage point, nature and a love of learning go hand in hand. If that is fostered in early education… then a child grows to love discovery and exploration and to be curious.

In what could be a model for other states and communities, the "California State Library Parks Pass" is now available in public libraries across California for checkout by library patrons. Once checked out from the library, the pass provides free vehicle day use entry at more than 200 participating state parks, bypassing typical fees of around $10 a day.
"All Californians should have the opportunity to be outdoors in nature," said California Secretary for Natural Resources Wade Crowfoot. "Yet many of our state’s residents live in communities without adequate parks and open space. This innovative new program will enable more Californians to explore our incredible State Parks system, and in the process create more equitable access to nature and the outdoors."
