California offering free state park passes to residents for limited time

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California residents have the opportunity to get into the California State Parks for free the rest of the year!

On Tuesday, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that California State Parks will offer a special free version of its Historian Passports in honor of Juneteenth and to celebrate the nation's 250th anniversary.

The pass, which normally costs $50, will provide free admission for up to four people at more than 30 historic state parks across the Golden State.

Starting on June 16 through July 6, California residents can claim their free passes.

Access will begin on Juneteenth and continue through the end of the year.
