ParkRx (prescriptions) are programs designed in collaboration with healthcare providers and community partners that utilize parks, trails, and open spaces to improve individual and community health. Learn more about the ParkRx initiative.
During National Park Week, give yourself the gift of good health by getting outdoors to a park near you on National ParkRx Day on Sunday, April 28, 2019.
It is a day celebrated across the United States to promote the growing movement of prescribing parks and nature to patients to improve human health. National ParkRx Day encourages everyone to consider visits to parks and public lands as very important parts of health.
