National Parks to Kids Day - May 16, 2020

Kids to Parks Day is a nationally coordinated day designed to connect kids and families with their local, state, and national parks. By discovering our public lands, kids across the country are learning about park stewardship, outdoor recreation, STEM, and history. This year we brought the Parks to Kids!

We hope you enjoyed Parks to Kids day on our Facebook page. We had a fun-filled day of educational interpretive programs to celebrate the 10th annual Kids to Parks Day, er, Parks to Kids Day.
