What is ''Find Recreation''?

neighborhood park"Find Recreation" is a tool used to search for public park and recreation lands throughout the State. This easy to use, interactive map allows you to search for camping facilities, trails and open-space recreation opportunities from the smallest neighborhood park to the largest national park. Currently, this search engine does not contain information on recreation centers and other facilities that are not part of a park or other open space area.

Use the ParkInfo Map to search for a federal, state or county park - even a playground in your neighborhood!

How do I use Find Recreation?

Simply type in your address, city or zip to find outdoor recreation opportunities in your area. Need to find a specific park? You can also search by park name. Once you've started your search, use the interactive map to point, click, and zoom or use the Internet links for directions and park information - like hours of operation and park facilities.
