Stressed out by the cost of gas and air travel? Don’t sit home and mope. Opportunities for fun, affordable leisure activities are as near as a Broward County park. And if you take advantage of our Parks Passports, having fun can be even more affordable.

• Individual Parks Passport - $25
• Family Parks Passport - $60 (good for up to six people per vehicle)
• Replacement of a lost Parks Passport - $5

With a Parks Passport, you never have to worry about paying the $1.50-per-person gate entrance fee (children 5 and under free) that’s in effect on weekends and county holidays at most of our regional parks. The credit card-style Passports are good for one year from the date of purchase and are available at park offices.
