Westchester County has also launched a new park pass. With the same great benefits as before, the Westchester County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation has redesigned its classic park pass to improve branding and generate repeat business.
Park passes are now full color, feature the Parks’ logo, and include a traditional credit card-sized pass as well as a smaller card that can be attached to a key chain. Both cards include a barcode, which identifies the user. While there is no photo on the card, the user’s photo, account number and information will appear on screen when scanned at park entrances.
Park passes can be purchased at the following locations:
Blue Mountain Reservation, Cortlandt Manor
Croton Point Park, Croton-on-Hudson
Dunwoodie Golf Course, Yonkers
Hudson Hills Golf Course, Ossining
Maple Moor Golf Course, White Plains
Mohansic Golf Course, Yorktown Heights
Saxon Woods Golf Course, Scarsdale
Sprain Lake Golf Course, Yonkers
Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Cross River
Westchester County Parks Department, Ardsley
Park passes are valid for three years and can be purchased for $90 by Westchester County residents over the age of 18. Junior park passes are available for those age 12 to 17, for the same price, with additional rules surrounding guests. Senior citizen park passes for those over age 60 are valid for six years.
Westchester County park passes entitle holders access to the tennis courts at Tibbetts Brook Park in Yonkers and all County pools and beaches. They also provide discounts for camping, boat launching, picnicking, golfing and parking where fees apply, except for at Playland.
Valid park passes will still be honored and should be replaced with the new card upon expiration. For more information, visit https://parks.westchestergov.com/park-passes.
