San Mateo County Parks Pass
This pass waives the vehicle entrance fee, allowing everyone in the car to visit the park for free. Other park fees, including reservation fees, are not covered by this pass. For example, the pass will cover vehicle entrance to Coyote Point, but it does not cover entrance fees to CuriOdyssey. Depending on where you are going, you may be able to find free or discounted passes to attractions through Discover and Go.
Eligible San Mateo County Parks
These passes are non-holdable, but you can CHECK HERE to see which libraries have passes available and what the loan periods are. In order to give everyone a chance to borrow them, Burlingame's passes are non-holdable, non-renewable, and they check out for a 1-week loan period.
Note: Some parks, such as the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, do not have an entrance fee, so you may not even need a pass for your visit. To learn more about a San Mateo County Park you are planning to visit, CLICK HERE.

Also, the pass is not valid for per-person entry or tour fees (such as museums), boat use, camping, group use or sites, special events, additional/extra vehicle fees, sanitation disposal use or for supplemental fees.
These passes are holdable, so you can put in a request and one will be set aside for you. Burlingame has holdable copies and non-holdable copies that we keep in the library for walk-ins. You can CHECK HERE to see which libraries have passes available and what the loan periods are.
