Free State Park Passes for Elmore Residents
A Grant to Bring the Outdoors Closer to Home
The Town of Elmore is thrilled to announce that we’ve received a state grant to provide free 10-visit punch cards for Elmore State Park! These punch cards are available to Elmore residents on a first-come, first-served basis, offering an excellent opportunity to enjoy our beautiful state park with family and friends.
Each punch card allows for up to 10 individual person visits to Elmore State Park, providing easy access to hiking, swimming, picnicking, and more.
Our community’s health and well-being are paramount. By providing free access to Elmore State Park, we aim to break down financial barriers and encourage all residents to engage in outdoor physical activities. This initiative is not just about access; it’s about fostering a culture of inclusivity and wellness that benefits everyone, particularly those from underserved populations.
Whether it’s your first time or a favorite tradition, these passes are your ticket to Vermont’s natural beauty!
