This summer, Castle Park is expressing heartfelt gratitude to the everyday heroes in our community—police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and military personnel—by offering free admission for each group during dedicated weeks.

???? Why It Matters

Castle Park’s initiative is a meaningful gesture of appreciation for first responders and service members, recognizing their unwavering dedication. It provides families a chance to create lasting memories—on the house.

???? How to Participate

 

  • One ticket per qualifying hero during their designated week

  • Must present valid proof, such as a military ID, police or firefighter badge, or EMT credentials
