As a fourth grader who lives in California, you can get this pass but your parent or guardian will need to help you. Getting a free pass online is simple. All that is needed is a name, address, phone number and an email. For individuals that do not have access to a smartphone, computer or printer and/or do not have an email address to use when applying online, they can still apply for a pass by visiting a State Parks Pass Sales Office -- click here for a list of locations – or calling (800) 444-7275.
