Enjoy free admission to New Jersey’s national parks to kick off National Park Week
America’s national parks, including those in New Jersey, are waiving admission fees this Saturday (4/16) to celebrate the first day of National Park Week.
National Park Week runs April 16-24 and Americans are urged to visit a national park and share their experiences on social media at #NationalParkWeek and #sParkDiscovery.
Each day of the week has a special theme. The first three are:
April 16: Park Discovery National Park Week kicks off with a fee-free day to encourage everyone to find something new by visiting a national park, especially one that may be close to home, a park you haven't considered visiting, or one you never realized is a national park! What new national park will you discover? #sParkDiscovery
Sunday, April 17: Park Creativity National parks have inspired artistic expression and creativity for generations. What is your park muse? What masterpiece can you create? #sParkCreativity
Monday, April 18: Park Collaboration We get along with a little help from our friends. Meet our many partners that help expand our reach and offerings and connect people to parks. How can you get involved or participate in opportunities? #sParkCollaboration
New Jersey’s officially designated national parks include the Paterson Great Falls National Park, the Morristown National Historical Park, and the Thomas Edison National Park in West Orange. Ellis Island is a national monument.
There has been a push to make the Delaware Water Gap a national park, but that hasn’t happened yet.
The other free admission days this year:
Aug. 4: Anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act
Sept. 24: National Public Lands Day
Nov. 11: Veterans Day
