Sacramento County Park Pass FAQS

How long is the pass valid?

Passes are valid for a 12-month period from the month purchased, expiring on the last day of that month. There are no refunds or replacements.

Please allow 3 to 5 business days for your order to be mailed via USPS. You must wait until your physical Park Pass arrives in the mail to use the pass. Emailed receipts for park passes are not valid for entry into Sacramento County parks, and may result in a parking ticket if displayed.

You have 30 days to contact ARPF if you have not received your pass within 21 days of order. After the 30 days, you will have to purchase a new pass.

I need a park pass today. How can I get one?

If you need a pass immediately, please visit one of our local vendors during hours of operation. ARPF also sells park passes at our office at 5700 Arden Way during regular business hours.

Can I pay with a credit card?

Cash or check payments are accepted at all vendor locations.
