Recommendation
Motion to Proclaim May 15, 2021 as Kids to Park Day.
Body
Background:
Kids to Parks Day is a national day of outdoor play celebrated annually on the third Saturday of May. The day connects kids and families with their local, state, and national parks and public lands through thousands of park events that promote discovery and exploration in the great outdoors.
COVID-19 has impacted everyone and has limited our ability to interact with our beloved national, local, and state parks. With this in mind, this year, the Park Trust will not be promoting “special” park events but instead encouraging people nationwide to celebrate the day at local parks and public lands with their household groups or established COVID “bubbles”, focusing on close-to-home outdoor spaces and experiences.
