The Power of Parks for Health

Celebrate 100 Years of Health in Our Parks


For 100 years, the National Park Service has been dedicated to protecting health and promoting parks as a health resource for visitors. The year 2021 marks the 100th anniversary of an agreement between the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) and the National Park Service (NPS) to protect, promote, and advance health in our parks. This anniversary provides an invaluable opportunity for parks, partners and visitors to celebrate The Power of Parks for Health.
