In collaboration with the California State Parks, the California State Library now offers a free pass to use at most state Parks. You can check it out from your local library.

“The California State Library Parks Pass offers vehicle day-use entry to over 200 participating state park units operated by State Parks to library-card holders. California public library-card holders can check out the vehicle day-use pass at their local public library. The California State Library Parks Pass is valid for entry of one passenger vehicle with capacity of nine people or less or one highway-licensed motorcycle.”

“The pass will not be honored at state park units operated by federal or local government and private agencies or concessionaires, and does not provide access to state vehicular recreation areas (off-highway vehicle parks) or for per-person entry or tour fees (such as at the Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument).”

To see all state parks, visit the California State Parks website. For questions, contact parkspass@library.ca.gov.
