Love Your Parks? Show It Off and Show Your Support!
Our "Love Your Parks" apparel line is more than just a fashion statement—it's a way to actively contribute to making Connecticut’s State Parks more accessible to everyone. Each purchase helps fund the Passport to the Parks program, which not only helps remove financial barriers to park entry but also supports operational aspects like water, electricity, maintenance staff, and even lifeguards.
Inspired by History and Art
The inaugural theme of our "Love Your Parks" collection features t-shirts designed in-house at DEEP, inspired by the elegant and timeless look of vintage Works Progress Administration (WPA) posters that famously advertised various National Parks. These designs capture the spirit and heritage of America’s golden era of park conservation and public art, bringing a piece of history to your wardrobe.
About the Passport to the Parks Program
The Passport to the Parks program is a testament to Connecticut's commitment to environmental accessibility and sustainability. This program allows free access to all state parks for every vehicle with a Connecticut license plate. As the only state in the Northeast offering such enhanced access without parking fees, Connecticut sets a remarkable example of inclusive recreational opportunities.
Why Your Purchase Matters
Every t-shirt sold under the "Love Your Parks" line directly supports this unique program. Your purchase helps fund essential services that keep our parks safe, clean, and accessible. This includes everything from the electricity that powers facilities, to the water that keeps restrooms and drinking fountains running, to the staff that maintains the beauty and safety of the parks, and the lifeguards who ensure water activities are enjoyed responsibly. Wear your love for the parks proudly and be part of the effort to keep them open and welcoming to all.
