Many people's first great outdoor experiences
take place at state park or recreation areas.
The Commission is making it easier and more
exciting than ever for people to learn about
their natural world. Outdoor educators and
parks staff develop programs that bring people
together, such as classic family Christmas and
Halloween events. Additionally, New Year's
Day hikes help people kick off the year with
fresh air, breathtaking views and friendships
across the state; adventure races inspire the
competitiveness in recreational exercisers and
group fitness fanatics; and naturalist activities
teach park guests of all ages about the natural
world. Expanded natural playgrounds and
improved water recreation like pools and splash
pads, help young children and families splash
in the fun and enjoy the their park stay. The
Commission is planning for the next generation
of park goers so people can learn, explore and
play.
