Free State Park Passes Available at Libraries
For the fourth year, a free day pass to state parks is available at libraries throughout Connecticut. Also, most libraries have a free day pass to loan to patrons to visit many of Connecticut 's museums, historic sites and attractions.
The free park pass admits one passenger vehicle to all state parks and forests and Fort Trumbull , Dinosaur Place and Gillette Castle. The pass is valid from April 18 through October 31, 2009.
The State Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) gives the one-day pass to the main branches of the libraries. This is part of DEP's No Child Left Inside initiative.
Season park passes for state residents can be purchased for $50 and $75 for non-residents from the online DEP bookstore, www.ctdepstore.com.
A list of the libraries was provided to DEP from the CT Library Consortium.
