 Mt. Kisco, NY - With more than 18,000 acres of parkland and 50 recreational facilities that range from pools and beaches, parks and golf courses, an amusement park, nature preserves and a working farm, Westchester County parks offers you and your family a host of opportunities for fun this summer. And, a Westchester County Park Pass is your key to enjoying it all!
A Westchester County Park Pass is a photo identification card that provides you with admission to all county-owned parks, pools and beaches. One park pass holder can bring two adults and children under age 12 into all county swimming facilities. Regular admission fees apply to each guest.
A Pass also entitles the holder to discounts on golf, parking, summer camp programs and more. Park Pass holders also play golf at discounted rates; golfers without park passes pay the non-resident rate. In addition, Park Pass holders get bonus points toward additional rides when purchasing Fun Cards at Playland Park, and get discounted admission at the Greenburgh Nature Center in Scarsdale.
Passes are available to any county resident age 12 and older who has either a driver’s license or photo identification with proof of Westchester residency.
An individual pass costs $45 and is valid for three years from date of issue. It is a photo identification card and must be obtained in person. It is non-transferable and can only be used by its owner.
A Family Park Pass is available for families who need to purchase two or more park passes for their household. The pass is $90 and includes two adult passes plus passes for any children ages 12 though 18 living at home. The Family Park Pass is valid for three years from month of purchase, the same term as a regular Park Pass. All family members must be present at the time of purchase to receive the pass.
Senior Citizen Park Passes for adults ages 60 and older are available for a fee of $45 and are valid for six years from date of issue. Park Passes for disabled residents are also available for $45 and are also valid for six years. An eligibility form must first be obtained from the county’s Office for the Disabled by calling (914) 995-2957.

I think there should be a 10-day 'visitor's pass' for people visiting family in the area. I would like to bring my kids to all the places I swam as I was growing up, but can't due not having a resident's pass.
