2020s Timeline
2020
Visitation - park visits topped 9 million! This 30% increase in park attendance and golf rounds occurred over a technically shorter operational year since facilities closed mid-March to May 2 due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.
The increase in park attendance and steady program participation underscored how critical open spaces were--and are--in times of crisis.
A total of 243 new acres (20 parcels) were added to 11 park properties in 2020 for a total of 17,797 acres owned or managed by the Park System.
See the
2020 Annual Report.
2021
