Park Rx (park prescriptions) are programs designed in collaboration with healthcare providers and community partners to utilize parks, trails, and open space to improve individual and community health. National Park Rx Day events are taking place in parks across the nation—from Meridian Hill Park in Washington, DC to Jefferson Park in Seattle, and many parks in-between—to highlight that the health benefits of parks go beyond just physical health.
