NPS Now Planning 
World's Most Important Park 
(the One Near You!)

Today the National Park Service announced its commitment to help local partners on over 260 great projects throughout America. 

People like you in hundreds of communities will be building trails, restoring rivers, and creating parks, and the National Park Service is privileged to help them make their plans.  

These will become places...

-- where children can visit day after day for a healthy dose of outdoor play, embraced by the real world of wildflowers, rocks, tadpoles, and trees;  
-- where neighbors can find balance amid a technology-saturated culture, and feel the joy of their own muscles moving them through a living landscape; 
-- where families can grow stronger, people can become involved in their communities, and the next generation of park stewards can take root.

These new parks, trails, greenways, and conserved rivers won't be national parks (though we hope you'll come and visit all 392 of those as well!).   

But the new park down the street may be the world's most important park, because it'll be closest to you.

Let's Work Together

Could your project benefit from collaboration with a National Park Service specialist?
 
If you're restoring a river, building a community trail, or making an urban park flourish, we'd love to talk with you about ways we could work together. 
 
Call or email your regional representative today.
