Kids To Parks Day

TwoSealsSmall

Children, families, teachers, cities, towns, and parks had a tremendous Kids to Parks Day (KTP) this year. KTP Day is a nation-wide day of outdoor play organized by National Park Trust (NPT) in cooperation with a host of local and national collaborators. Next year’s KTP Day will be held on Saturday, May 20, 2017, the week before the official start of summer.

NPT is encouraging children across the country to explore their neighborhood parks and discover science, history, nature and adventure right around the corner or just across town. Our website can help jumpstart your adventure. Visit us at kidstoparks.org
