Saturday and Wednesday, a spring free day and Earth Day, respectively, were to be the fourth and fifth of 12 State Parks free days in 2020, when ‘ visitors are not required to display the Discover Pass for day—use visits to a park. Due to Gov. Jay Inslee’s extension of Washington’s stay-at-home order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, Washington parks will remain closed through at least May 4. State Parks will designate two days later in the year to make up for the missed free days in April.

The Discover Pass legislation pro— vided that State Parks could desig- nate up to 12 free days when the pass would not be required to visit state parks. The free days apply only at. state parks; the Discover Pass is still required on WDFW and DNR lands. In addition to the new dates to be announced, the remaining 2020 State Parks free days are: June 6 National Trails Day; June 7 — Free Fishing Day; June 13 — National Get Outdoors Day; Aug. 25 -— National Park Service Birthday; Sept. 26 — National Public Lands Day; Nov. 11 —~ Veterans Day; Nov. ~ 27 — Autumn free day.
