County Resident Passes

Effective since January 2018

Park entry by vehicle is free to all St. Joseph County residents. Although not required, the Parks Department recommends county residents request an annual sticker for their vehicle in order to assist in tracking usage of the parks. There is no charge for additional annual stickers for county residents. Park entry by kayak, foot or bicycle is free for all parks and does not require registration.

To receive an annual sticker, contact the Parks' office by calling 269-467-5519 or stop into the MSU Extension Office at 612 E. Main Street in Centreville. You can also ask for a sticker at any park with an operator.

Non-Resident Vehicle Passes

Non-county residents are required to register their vehicle to receive a day pass ($5) or an annual pass ($35). If you ride your bike or walk to a County Park, your entrance is no charge.

The vehicle pass will get ALL INDIVIDUALS inside your vehicle into the park. You can either purchase a single use Day Pass or a low-cost Annual Pass which gets you into County Parks all year long! Your Vehicle Pass should always be displayed in your vehicle. Place Day Passes on your dashboard. Adhere Annual Passes to your windshield in the lower right hand corner.

Purchase at a Park: Vehicle Day Passes and Annual Passes may be purchased at Cade Lake, Meyer Broadway, and Sand Lake during normal park hours when an attendant is present. All other parks and times, simply complete the vehicle pass form and deposit into the lock box.

Purchase at the Parks Department Office: Contact our office at 269-467-5519 to check office hours.
