Visitors can skip the entrance fees at 14 state parks in San Diego County on Monday, part of a state effort to reduce barriers to accessing the outdoors.
More than 200 California state parks are offering the free vehicle entry — including motorcycles — on the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday to California residents and visitors. Entrance fees are typically around $10.
Participating state parks in San Diego include Anza-Borrego Desert, Palomar and Cuyamaca state parks, along with several state beaches such as Torrey Pines, San Elijo and Carlsbad.
The complete list of parks offering free entry on Monday can be found here.
The free vehicle entry is supported by the park advocacy group California State Parks Foundation, which also helps promote the California State Library Parks Pass program.
That program provides free vehicle access at state parks to library card holders, and passes can be checked out at local public libraries.
Monday’s free vehicle entry is open to vehicles with capacity of nine people or less.
