National Park Trust

Kids to Parks is sponsored by The National Park Trust, which is dedicated to preserving parks today and creating park stewards for tomorrow. As families spend more time indoors and as successive generations grow up with less of a connection to nature we need to build greater awareness and appreciation for the importance of our country’s public lands and parks. They are the nation’s only organization dedicated to the completion and the full appreciation, of the American system of local, state and national parks through the identification of key land acquisition and preservation needs.

  1. I haven’t been to a park in Middle Tennessee, but I would love to see Radnor Lake State Park with 1,200-acre park with several hiking trails with native wildlife and plants!

  3. We love the park at the Hermitage Community Center and Library. We have many days we meet friends after school there to play.
