There are 84 million acres of protected land in America’s over 400 national parks – and it all belongs to you and me.  I’m excited to share that on August 25, 2016, the National Park Service turns 100! In celebration of this milestone, all National Parks will be once again offer free admission on that Tuesday. The Centennial will celebrate the achievements of the past 100 years, while at the same time marking the beginning of the next 100 years for the National Parks.

The National Park Service and National Park Foundation wants people everywhere to take advantage of the opportunities to explore, learn, be inspired and simply have fun in their 407 national parks.  The National Park Foundation’s mission to also promote the National Park Service’s community-based recreation, conservation, and historic preservation programs and how they positively impact local communities.

In celebration of the upcoming National Park Service Centennial, the National Park Foundation and the National Park Service kicked off the Find Your Park movement to inspire all people to support America’s national parks.

The National Parks invite those who already know and love the parks and also the next generation of visitors, supporters, and advocates to join the movement at FindYourPark.com and by using #FindYourPark on social media.
