WASHINGTON – The National Park Service is seeking public input to help identify ways to improve visitor services in national parks, including more efficient methods for delivering and managing those services. 

This request for information supports Executive Order 14314, Making America Beautiful Again by Improving Our National Parks, which directs the Secretary of the Interior to take steps to enhance services for United States residents visiting national parks. 

"We’re inviting those who know our parks best, the visitors, to share their experiences,” said the Acting Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks Kevin Lilly. “Your perspective serves a vital role in improving visitor services and helping us enhance operations across the National Park System.” 

Comments and suggestions will be accepted from September 9 until October 9, 2025. For more details, including how to submit input, please visit Regulations.gov. Respondents are encouraged to provide specific examples from their park experiences to assist NPS in evaluating and implementing improvements.
