National Park Service engineers plan, design, construct, and maintain infrastructure in more than 400 national parks across the country while balancing preservation of the nation's natural and cultural heritage with visitor access and enjoyment. More than 300 million visitors each year can experience these special places in part through the pioneering innovation of engineers.
Engineers deliver technological innovation, turning imagination and fantasy into something that is tangible and improves our way of life. National parks are home to some of the most iconic engineering marvels—bridges, roadways, monuments, and visitor centers—in places that required inspiring creativity.
