3-Day Massachusetts State Parks Pass The South Hadley Public Library also has a 3-day pass to admit a Massachusetts resident passenger vehicle to state parks that charge a daily parking fee.

The pass allows free parking for the vehicle occupied by the pass holder, whether they are driving or a passenger. Passes are available at all parks that charge a parking fee. A Senior Pass is not valid at campgrounds and is subject to available parking. Parking fees also are waived for vehicles bearing the following types of license plates from any state: handicapped plate or placard, or disabled veterans’ license plate. This waiver does not apply to camping fees and is subject to available parking.
Other libraries have passes to other attractions available for checkout. Click here to search for them in the Western Massachusetts combined library catalog. Passes must be reserved in person or by telephone, and cannot be requested through the catalog. A few libraries only loan their passes to patrons who hold that library's card or who belong to their Friends organization.
