Park Prescription Program
Park Prescription Program What's a "Park Prescription?" Imagine getting a written prescription to take a walk, bicycle, or kayak in a national park. That's exactly what a "park prescription" is. Your health care providers prescribe contact with nature for various health conditions and encourage you to take advantage of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, a great regional health resource. For more information please refer to the Park Prescription Program Brochure. To learn more about connecting with urban parks please visit the InsideNPS web site. |
