One App, All Parks. Your Companion for National Park Week.

Download the NPS App

Start by downloading the NPS App to your phone or tablet. This free app is currently available for iOS and Android devices through the App Store and Google Play.  

Before you head out on your National Park Week adventure from April 20-28, download the National Park Service’s NPS Mobile App. Experience every national park in your fingertips through one app for your smartphone. Explore the app day by day during National Park Week—or any time of year—with the below list of suggestions. With more than 400 national parks across the country (which one is closest to you?), the opportunities are endless! Parks continue to add more great content every day, so remember to keep exploring the app.

Use the app to find places and things to do in parks. You can even set up a favorites list to keep track of all your interests and goals.

Discovery Saturday

Virtually explore your public lands. Open the app and navigate to a park that begins with the first letter of your first, middle, or last name.

Volunteer Sunday

Become a steward. Did you know that you can find volunteer opportunities with the NPS Mobile app? The NPS App can connect you with volunteer opportunities to help national parks with a wide range of tasks to meet your interests and availability.

Earth Day

Conserve and preserve! Parks may be closer to home than you think. Use the NPS App to find nearby parks or across the country to experience nature or get involved with stewardship. You can create a favorites list to keep track of things you want to do, places you want to visit, and ways you’d like to get involved as a steward.

National parks may be closer to home than you think. Use the app to find the parks closest to you.

Community Connections Friday

Connect with your closest park! The NPS App’s event calendar makes it easy to find programs and other events. With over 400 national park sites throughout the country, there is likely one within driving distance of your home!

Arts in the Parks Sunday

Send a virtual postcard! Get artistic with your photographs and share them your friends and family. Way back in the day, it became a tradition to send postcards when visiting a national park. The NPS App helps you create virtual postcards using your own photographs from your visit! For extra fun, share your virtual postcards on social media using #FindYourPark and #NationalParkWeek.
