DENVER — Living life outside is part of the Colorado lifestyle, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is committed to ensuring that every Coloradan, regardless of their financial situation, has the opportunity to experience Colorado’s beautiful outdoors.

CPW offers a $14 Centennial State Park Pass to income-eligible Coloradans, providing access to all Colorado state parks for a whole year. The pass is valid for 13 months, and pass holders can enter any Colorado state park by vehicle or on foot. 

At Colorado state parks, a world of adventure awaits. From hiking and biking trails to picnic areas, swim beaches, outdoor education programs, wildlife viewing, bird-watching and more, there's something for everyone to enjoy at no extra cost. 

To apply, Colorado residents can view the downloadable Centennial Program Application for complete details on the application process. Solicitud del Programa Centennial también está disponible en español. 

Residents interested in applying in person can visit any local CPW office or state park to submit a completed application with supporting documentation. For more information, contact the CPW call center at 303-297-1192 (8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mon. to Fri.).

Coloradans who are eligible for the following state and federal aid programs, regardless of income requirements, also qualify for a Centennial State Park Pass:

  • Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) 

  • Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid program) 

  • Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) 

  • Food Distribution on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) 

  • Low-income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) 

  • Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

Colorado residents who have a U.S. Federal Tax form that includes Form 1040 line 15 or Form 1040-SR line 15, or who have a signed affidavit that indicates a tax form does not have to be filed, also qualify for a Centennial Park Pass.

“Spending time outside is essential for our physical, mental and emotional health,” said CPW Deputy Director Heather Disney Dugan. “ We want to inspire all Coloradans to explore our state parks and enjoy the colorful landscapes that Colorado provides us. These resources belong to every single Coloradan.” 

Colorado residents who qualify for the Centennial State Park Pass should opt out of the $29 Keep Colorado Wild Pass available during the state vehicle registration process. To learn more about the Keep Colorado Wild Pass, visit cpw.info/keepcoloradowild.
