Today May 21, 2016 marks the National Park Trust’s sixth annual Kids to Parks Day. Visit a park in your neighborhood or nationally today! Celebrate the outdoors and all that nature has to offer.

If you have a 4th grader see America’s natural wonders and historic sites for FREE! Visit every kid in a park for more information.

Parks are amazing American project that we can be intensely proud of and need to share the importance of maintaining and celebrating them with future generations. The only way to do that is to take the kids out and play!
