In partnership with the First Partner’s Office and the California State Library, State Parks is providing free vehicle day-use entry to over 200 participating state park units operated by State Parks to Los Angeles Public Library card holders.  California State Library Parks Pass | Los Angeles Public Library

The pass entitles the user to a free vehicle day-use entry for one passenger vehicle with capacity of nine people or less or one highway-licensed motorcycle at over 200 participating state park units.
