Nev. expands free parks passes for elementary students
By Alison Noon, AP
Nevada students ages 9 to 11 can play at state parks for free beginning in July under a law Gov. Brian Sandoval signed Friday that will give fifth-graders free entry to all state parks and recreational areas for one year.
The measure builds on a federal program that allows fourth-graders to apply for free admission to all national parks as well as Nevada state parks.
Day passes at about 20 other state parks across Nevada cost between $7 and $12.
