Visit Over 60 Georgia Parks, Historic Sites with ParkPass

Trips to Georgia's State Parks and Historic Site locations are a way to wrap up the summer vacation season. 

The Cobb County Public Library System has several ParkPass kits for the more than 60 State Parks and Historic Site locations in Georgia.

The ParkPass kit gives library patrons in Georgia free admission or parking to State Parks and Historic Site locations of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR). 

Each ParkPass pass is available for check-out for one week to allow for free entry for up to four visitors. The kits also include a parking pass and guide booklet. The ParkPass is a budget-saver for families: most Daily ParkPasses are $5.

Reserve ParkPass kits in advance. Planning is also highly recommended as hours vary at States Parks and Historic Sites, with several operating under limited schedules due to tight budgets.
