WHO CAN USE IT?

Library card holders may check out a Parks Pass.  Passes are available on a first-come first-served basis.  If a Pass is checked out, a hold may be placed through the Library catalog.

WHAT DOES THE PASS DO?

Passes are valid for day-use parking of one passenger vehicle with a capacity of up to nine people or one highway licensed motorcycle at participating state park units.

WHERE CAN THE PASS BE USED?

Passes are valid at 200+ participating State Park units.  Passes will not be honored at State Park units operated by Federal or local governments and private agencies or concessionaires, or at parks that do not require a vehicle day-use pass, such as marine areas or kayak-in parks. Also, Passes are not valid for per-person entry or tour fees (such as museums), boat use, camping, group use or sites, special events, additional/extra vehicle fees, sanitation disposal use or for supplemental fees.
