The State of California believes in the right of all Californians to have access to recreational opportunities and to enjoy the cultural, historic and natural resources found across the state. Too many Californians cannot access the state’s parks, beaches and outdoor spaces, nor the state’s array of museums and cultural and historical sites. Given this, the California Natural Resources Agency and California State Parks are prioritizing efforts to expand all Californians’ access to parks, open space, nature and cultural amenities. Doing so advances Governor Gavin Newsom’s strong personal commitment to building a “California for All.”
Championed by the First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, whose California for All Kids initiatives support children’s physical, mental and social-emotional well-being, Assembly Bill 148 established the California State Park Adventure Pass, a three-year pilot program that waives day-use entrance fees to 19 state parks for fourth graders and their families for a full year. Applying is simple. Learn more about the application process at parks.ca.gov/AdventurePass.
