Leisure Pass

The Nassau County Leisure Pass identifies its holder as a Nassau County resident and is required for all residents 13 years or older (10 years or older for golf) for entry into many recreational facilities. The pass also provides residents with discounts to pools, rinks, and golf courses, which are operated by Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation and Museums.  Youngsters who utilize county-operated golf courses, regardless of age, must have a Leisure Pass.
