Park Passes Update

The Marin County Board of Supervisors has approved the removal of park entry fees for 5 Marin County Park sites: Stafford Lake Park, McNears Beach Park, Paradise Beach Park, Black Point Boat Launch, and Miller Boat Launch. As of July 3, 2023, these fees will no longer be in effect. Consequently, the Marin County Parks passes available through the library will no longer be necessary and are being recalled and deactivated. The Marin Municipal Water District, Mount Tamalpais State Park, and California State Parks passes will remain unchanged.
