Take Time Friday to Visit a Park

Share your memories or photos of your favorite state or national park.

The National Recreation and Park Association is encouraging people across the country to go outside and enjoy a park tomorrow.

The group declared Friday "National Visit a Park Day," in an effort to increase public enjoyment of parklands.

"The public is encouraged to set aside unnecessary obligations on Oct. 5 and take time to visit a local, state, regional, or national park and enjoy the many benefits of these locations," the NRPA said.
