Annual Lakewood Pass
An annual pass is good for one calendar year. One key card* per household is given for access. An invoice to renew your pass will be sent to the email on file every December 1. You must pay using the link in the email, by phone or in person at the Valpo Parks Office to renew. Cards not renewed by December 31 will be deactivated until payment is made.
*Add-On gate passes must reside in the same household as the main pass holder (must show proof) and be 16+ years of age with a valid driver’s license. “Add-on” pass holder must be present at the time of purchase. Passes will need to be renewed each year and require the above verification.

Will anyone be on site to open the gate if I forget my pass?
There will be no gate attendant. To request help, push the button on the kiosk to call for assistance.

The Lakewood Pass is $60 for the year and $20.00 for Senior/Veteran. All rates are subject to change. (Expires December 31, 2025)
Do I need a pass for everyone in my family?
Access to Rogers Lakewood Park requires one Lakewood Pass per vehicle. Each individual in your party is not required to have their own pass.
Do I need a new pass every time I visit?
No. Much like a membership card for a gym or other membership-based organization, your Lakewood Pass will be scanned at the gate.
Does my Lakewood Pass ever expire?
Yes, the Lakewood Pass will expire at the end of each calendar year. An invoice will be sent to the email on file December 1. If the invoice is not paid before December 31, the pass will become inactive.
How can I cancel my Lakewood Pass?

What if I lose my physical card?
If your card is lost, please visit the Valpo Parks office (3210 N. Campbell St) to replace your pass. A small fee of $10 is required for a replacement and your old card will be deactivated.
Is there a limit on the number of times I can visit the park?
There is no limit to the number of times you can visit the park. The Lakewood Pass gives you access to the park and is considered unlimited.
Is there a limit on the number of guests in my party per pass/resident?
The Lakewood Pass will allow one vehicle through the gate at a time. The limit for the number of guests in your party is equivalent to the number of seat belts in your vehicle.
