Top Ten Reasons to Purchase A Sacramento County Parks Passport

Buying an annual parks pass – the Passport – may have been on your list of things to do for a couple of years now, but with the economy straining everyone’s budgets a little harder this year, there’s no better time than now! Here’s why:

Top Ten Reasons for Buying a Passport:

10. You never have to worry about having exact change
9. It’s the GREEN thing to do. Be environmentally conscious!
8. Protect wildlife by ensuring Parkway preservation and protection
7. Show others that you support the famous Sacramento landmark and encourage them to buy
6. It’s the right thing to do…if you use the Parkway, support it
5. Saves time when entering a County Park – drive right in without having to stop at the kiosks or iron rangers!
4. Your investment supports the maintenance of the American River Parkway, Sacramento’s most famous Parkway.
3. It saves you money – the Passport pays for itself in five visits
2. A $50 pass is a better deal than a $35 parking ticket
1. And most importantly, all the cool people do it

Did you know that in addition to the American River Parkway, the County Regional Parks Department oversees 15,000 acres of preserved open spaces throughout Sacramento County? Whether you visit the parks for biking, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, rafting, or simply to picnic with your family, County Regional Parks have something for everyone.

Starting at only $50, the Passport allows unlimited visits to all County parks for a full year, and all the funds raised go directly to keeping parks clean and safe.

To find out more information about the annual Parks Passport, or how to volunteer with parks, visit Sac Parks online, or call County Regional Parks 916-875-6961
