Annual Parks Passports

Parks Passport (per motorized vehicle 8 or fewer occupants) - $30

With a Parks Passport you never have to worry about paying the $3/vehicle fee (for 8 or fewer occupants) that’s in effect on weekends and County holidays at most of our regional parks. (The Parks Passport does not cover the parking fee at Hollywood North Beach Park nor any special amenity or event fees.) The credit card-style passports are good for one year from the date of purchase and are available at park offices and through Reserve Online.

The Parks Passport covers the park gate admission for a vehicle (with 8 or fewer occupants) on weekends and holidays.

Disabled Veterans Parks Passport Program

The Broward County Commission has approved a plan that will allow honorably discharged disabled veterans with a service-related disability to enter County parks for free. Veterans who served in the United States Armed Forces and have a service-related disability can apply for a free Parks Passport.

The credit card-style passes will be good for five years from the date of activation – a savings of more than $150 – and may be renewed. (The pass does not provide prepaid parking at Hollywood North Beach Park or admittance into special park amenities or events.) It covers the weekend and County-observed holiday entrance fee in a vehicle (with fewer than 8 occupants).

To determine eligibility, call 954-357-6622 to schedule an appointment at one of the seven Broward County Veterans Service locations to complete an application to determine eligibility.
