How does the program work?

PASSES ARE AVAILABLE NOW!

Library card holders can check out a daily admission vehicle pass from participating libraries. The passes will be valid for free admission for one vehicle at any state park, forest or recreation area where admission is required. Library Staff are required to write in a specific date on the pass, so please have that information ready when you pick up your pass.

Along with the day pass, the cardholder will receive an informational kit of state park system materials and maps, a Wisconsin Explorer book, stickers, accessibility information and more. The goal of the program is to expand access to Wisconsin state park system properties to new visitors.

Passes are available at Hales Corners Library while supplies last.
