RivCoParks Library Pass Program

Time spent in outdoor spaces improves physical, social, spiritual, and emotional health. The “Nature Gap” is where communities have historically been left out of these spaces due to a combination of racial and economic disparities. RivCoParks is committed to reducing the “Nature Gap” by introducing the RivCoParks Library Pass. The Library Pass Program aims to provide greater inclusion and access to the outdoors by removing one of the economic barriers faced by various communities.

Passes can be obtained at participating local libraries:

City of Riverside Library Branches Riverside County Library Systems City of Murrieta Library Corona Public Library Palo Verde Valley District Library

For details on these locations, please visit: RivCoParks.org/library-park-pass
