Mount Rainier National Park is one of the oldest, and most visited, national parks.
OLYMPIA National Park Week 2021 kicks off with a prescription to get outdoors on International Park Prescription (ParkRx) Day on Saturday.
NATIONWIDE Those tired of staying indoors and wanting to visit a national park are in luck.
The National Park Service is offering visitors free admission on Saturday, April 17 in honor of National Park Week.
That date marks the first day of the weeklong celebration, which lasts April 17 – 25. The first day is meant to encourage residents to explore national parks that typically charge entrance fees.
“You are invited to join us on this special day celebrated across the United States and internationally to promote the growing movement of healthcare providers referring patients to parks to improve their health and wellbeing,” according to the NPS’ website. “This year ParkRx Day is a fee-free day in US National Parks so everyone can get out and enjoy the health benefits of the great outdoors.”
