What is a 511 Speed Code?
 From the opening menu of 511 (while in speech recognition mode), you can enter a code known as a speed code. You enter the 4-digit speed code and press the pound key and it will take you directly to the park menu. Each park has a recording, and can change that recording depending on what is going on at the park. Here is a list of each state park's speed code.
How to Access
Speech mode instructions from main menu:
- Enter park’s speed code, then the pound key
- Or say: “Tourism,” “Parks,” and name of the park
- To transfer to the park office, press the pound (“#”) key at any time during the recording
Touch tone mode instructions:
- Press Star Key (*) to enter touch tone mode (will drown out background noise)
- Press: “1” for Tourism followed by “2” for Parks
- For Parks beginning with A, B, or C, press 2 (first letter of park name matches phone’s keypad)
- To transfer to a selected park, press the pound (“#”) key at any time during the recording
