Thanks to a partnership with Oregon State Parks, Driftwood Public Library and the Newport public library is now offers day-use parking passes for Oregon State Parks. These passes can be checked out by Driftwood and Newport Public Library cardholders for two weeks, and allow for free parking at any Oregon State Park that charges a parking fee. Currently, there are four passes available to the public.
Oregon State Parks do not charge admission for use of the park, and the majority offer free parking. However, there are 25 State Parks that charge a parking fee, and many of these parks are situated on the Oregon Coast and in the Willamette Valley.
Parks where a fee is required include Heceta Head State Scenic Viewpoint, Jessie M. Honeyman State Park, Cape Lookout State Park, Nehalem Bay State Park, Ecola State Park, Fort Stevens State Park, Willamette Mission State Park, and others. For a full list of parks where a pass is necessary, please visit stateparks.oregon.gov.
Individuals interested in checking out a pass will need a Driftwood Public Library card. Getting a card is a fast, simple process, and all Lincoln County residents are eligible to receive a library card. Simply visit the library at 801 SW Highway 101 on the second floor and fill out an application. You will also need photo ID and, if your Lincoln County address is not reflected on your ID, proof that you reside in Lincoln County. This can be as simple as a utility bill, rental agreement, property tax statement, or even first-class mail addressed to your local street address. Not sure if you qualify? Give us a call, and we’ll talk you through it!
The library is located on the second floor of the City Hall building at 801 SW Hwy 101 in Lincoln City, just across the street from Burger King and adjacent to McKay’s Market grocery store. The library is open from 10 AM-6 PM Monday- Saturday, and from 1-5 PM on Sundays.
