Many people frequent the American River Parkway while birding such places as Sailor Bar, William B. Pond Recreation Area, Sacramento Bar, and many others. It’s easy to save time and money while supporting these regional parks! At $60/year, the Regional Parks Pass pays for itself in 10 visits and all funds go directly towards maintaining and operating our beautiful 15,000 acre system.  

However, did you know that Senior Citizens may purchase the annual pass for $30 for one vehicle, meaning the pass pays for itself in 5 visits! The only stipulation is that the pass must be purchased in person at one of two locations:

Sacramento County Parks
