Gateway National Recreation Area 2008 Accomplishments

Read about the accomplishments at Gateway National Recreation Area in 2008.

What makes Gateway National Recreation Area (NRA) different is that we are readily accessible by 16 million people who live in the metropolitan area. Gateway was created to bring the National Park Service 'experience' to these people and some 9 million of them visited the park in 2008.

The challenges are great, the opportunites many.
