KIDS TO PARKS DAY
Save The Date – May 21, 2022!
This year marks the 12th anniversary of Kids to Parks Day, an annual day of outdoor exploration at local, state, and national parks and public lands across the country. Organized by National Park Trust, the mission of Kids to Parks Day is to foster future outdoor enthusiasts and help with developing the next generation of park stewards by engaging kids in memorable outdoor experiences. While discovering and exploring our parks, kids learn about park stewardship, outdoor recreation, STEM and the history of our country and its amazing national treasures – because kids need parks and parks need kids!
Always hosted the third Saturday of May, Kids to Parks Day encourages kids and families to get outside and create their own adventure at thousands of local park events and programs. National Park Trust works with cities and towns, teachers, families, park and public lands officials, and numerous sponsors and partners to make these events possible.
In addition to in-person events and outdoor experiences throughout the month of May, the Park Trust’s #MyParkOurFuture social media campaign, launching in April 2022, will encourage individuals and families to share an outdoor space that is important for current and future generations. Plus, the Park Trust’s new free ParkPassport mobile app is the perfect companion to use on Kids to Parks Day for outdoor adventure and provides easy access to hundreds of parks across the country, including local, state, and national parks, and national marine sanctuaries and marine national monuments.
