More free days coming to state parks

Posted

Two more free-admission days are coming to Washington State Parks in the coming month.

The first free day is Saturday, April 3, and the second will be on Earth Day, Thursday, April 22.

During the free days, visitors will not need a Discover Pass to visit state park lands.

The free days are in keeping with legislation that created the Discover Pass. The Discover Pass legislation provided that Washington State Parks could designate up to 12 free days when the pass would not be required to visit state parks. 

The pass costs $30 for an annual pass or $10 for a one-day permit, and is required for vehicle access to state recreation lands managed by Washington State Parks, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Department of Natural Resources.

The free days apply only at state parks; the Discover Pass is still required on WDFW and DNR lands.
