National TRACK Trails Day 2024
It's that time of year again! National TRACK Trails Day is right around the corner. And like last year, we have much to celebrate in our public lands and other outdoor spaces. We've opened 26 new TRACK Trails in six different states and will surpass our 300th TRACK Trail on National TRACK Trails Day! Every day our Trail TRACKers and partners help build stronger connections between children and parks. To celebrate, we're excited to announce our 6th annual National TRACK Trails Day!

300th TRACK Trail Opening
So far this year, we've opened 27 new TRACK Trails - 17 hiking sites, seven TRACK Trail Minis, and two disc golf courses. These sites range from neighborhood parks to a national wildlife refuge and represent six different states. With 41 other TRACK Trails in the works, we are about to surpass 300 TRACK Trails across the country! To celebrate this achievement, there will be several TRACK Trail openings on National TRACK Trails Day so we reach this goal together. These sites include: Cherry Blossom Trail in Virginia, Craggy Gardens Mini in North Carolina, Rosebrock Park in South Carolina, and the possibility for more. We will be adding all openings and other National TRACK Trails events to our Facebook Events page. Make sure to stay up to date on Facebook and follow us for all Kids in Parks news!
