2024 Free Park Days Announced for Washington State Parks

Washington State Parks has announced the 2024 schedule for free park days, inviting residents to explore the state's stunning natural scenery without the requirement of a Discover Pass. The designated free days include notable occasions such as New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and Earth Day, among others, providing a range of opportunities for outdoor activities. This initiative aims to foster community engagement with the outdoors and promote the importance of environmental stewardship. It's important to note that the free days are limited to day-use areas, meaning that overnight camping and rentals are not included in this offer.

Additionally, visitors heading to Sno-Parks during the winter months will still be required to purchase Sno-Park permits, as these areas are not covered by the free days. This announcement serves as a reminder of the beauty and recreational opportunities available in Washington State's parks. By participating in these free days, residents can connect with nature and enjoy the health benefits associated with outdoor activities. The initiative reflects a commitment to making the state's parks accessible and encouraging public use of these natural resources.
