A Westchester County Park Pass is your key to enjoying more than 50 recreational facilities this summer, from pools and beaches, parks and golf courses, and to nature preserves, and even an amusement park and a working farm. And, you can get your pass now at convenient locations throughout the county.

Passes are available to any county resident age 12 and older who has either a driver’s license or photo identification with proof of Westchester residency.

The Park Pass is a photo identification card that provides you with admission to all county-owned parks, pools and beaches. One park pass holder can bring two adults and children under age 12 into all county swimming facilities. Regular admission fees apply to each guest.

The pass also entitles the holder to discounts on golf and on parking fees where applicable.

An individual pass costs $60 and is valid for three years from date of issue. It must be obtained in person. It is non-transferable and can only be used by its owner.

A Family Park Pass is available for families who need to purchase two or more park passes for their household. The pass is $120, which covers two adult passes plus passes for any children ages 12 through 18 living at home. The Family Park Pass is valid for three years from month of purchase. All family members must be present at the time of purchase.

Senior Citizen Park Passes for adults age 60 and older are available for a fee of $60 and are valid for six years from date of issue. Park Passes for disabled residents are also available for $60 and are also valid for six years.
