National TRACK Trails Day 2020
National TRACK Trails Day — August 15, 2020
From our very first TRACK Trail on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Kids in Parks has since grown to include over 200 TRACK Trails across 12 states, Washington, D.C., and the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation! It has been our passion to create opportunities to encourage children and parents to improve wellness by turning to nature; by venturing outdoors and “unplugging” from the distractions of modern life. Because not only do people benefit from being outdoors, but our public lands benefit when people use them! Stronger connections between children and parks cultivate stewards who will understand the value of our public lands. As those connections have grown (and still grow!) on our network of TRACK Trails, we're excited to celebrate our 2nd annual National TRACK Trails Day! A day to honor our partners and Trail TRACKers who help make this program possible!
National TRACK Trails Day is a time to celebrate kids getting outdoors through our many TRACK Trails or other outdoor agencies. Whether you hike, bike, paddle, or play disc golf with us, National TRACK Trails Day is a day to enjoy your favorite Kids in Parks location!

This year, we will be promoting National TRACK Trails Day virtually.
