The city of Dallas is opening its parks to Dallas teens for free. According to a release, the city is bringing back its Teen All Access Pass, issued by the Dallas Park and Recreation Department, allowing teens to visit iconic cultural and recreational attractions for free.

This is the second year for the Teen All Access Park, which was a rousing success in 2021, when Dallas Park and Recreation year joined with select attractions and venues to issue 7,066 passes to teens and their companions that resulted in 14,279 free admissions:

This year, three new organizations are offering complimentary admission: the African American Museum at Fair Park, Golf Dallas, and Perot Museum of Nature and Science.

The city is partnered with Amazon, which a company spokesperson says is proud to provide Dallas teens with free access to fun, safe and enriching summer activities.

Park officials will make 10,000 Teen All Access passes available only to Dallas residents on a first-come, first-served basis. Starting June 27, teens can sign up and receive a pass at a City of Dallas recreation center although the pass will not be activated and ready for use until July 1.
