"Ranging from the community playground to the world's first national park, about one third of our country's land is public space ? set aside for all of us to enjoy,? said National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis. "Whether you prefer to lend a hand on a volunteer project or just take it easy, Let's Move Outside on National Public Lands Day and experience these wonderful places.?
For the largest National Public Lands Day event taking place this year, the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation have partnered with Nickelodeon to host the 8th annual Worldwide Day of Play. The flagship Worldwide Day of Play event will take place in Washington, D.C. on the Ellipse in President's Park, next to the White House. This year's Worldwide Day of Play will be the biggest yet, with an entire day of physical activities and games for kids and their families to encourage active and healthy lifestyles.
The National Park Service has developed a special Junior Ranger program for the day that will give kids a pedometer and encourage them to walk the length of trails in national parks across the country. National park rangers will also help kids try out a climbing wall and test their speed in a tent-raising race.
Also on September 24, Nickelodeon's networks and website will go dark from 12 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. (ET/PT) in an effort to inspire kids and families to get up and get active. Visit http://www.worldwidedayofplay.com for more information.
