National Park Week is proclaimed annually by the President as a week for celebration and recognition of National Parks. Your National Parks are living examples of the best this Nation has to offer--our magnificent natural landscapes and our varied yet interrelated heritage. Parks can provide recreational experiences, opportunities to learn and grow and places of quiet refuge. This year, take a moment, an hour, a day to visit the national parks near you. Find out how you can participate, and more about the cultural resources of our featured park by clicking on the links to the left.
