2 Free Days At Washington State Parks In April
The two Discover Pass-free days in April are among nine remaining free days coming up in 2019.
OLYMPIA, WA — You can leave your Discover Pass at home on two days in April as the state offers free entry to all state parks.
The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission offers a dozen free entry days each year. We get two in April for Earth Day and to celebrate spring. Those days occur on April 20 (a Saturday) and 22, respectively.
But you don't have to wait for those days to enjoy state parks. Discover Passes only cost $30 per year (or $10 per day).
