Lots of changes began for Kids in Parks in 2020, and this summer we're excited to release the first of this new phase of Kids in Parks! 15 new adventure cards will be replacing our current prizes, where Trail TRACKers will unlock a new card with each hike they TRACK. Each card features activities and guides for you to use when out exploring nature.

Join Track and Kip in this new comic adventure as they venture into the amazing world of birds. 'Birdies' will teach you how birds sing their songs, where they go for winter, how you can tell a bird's diet just by looking at its beak, and much, much more.

We are so proud of our Trail TRACKers, and that's why we like to recognize those who go out of their way to explore our trails. Each month, we honor at least one of these special explorers with the title of Trail TRACKer (or TRACKers) of the Month. Meet our Trail TRACKer for May 2021!

Join City Nature Challenge this weekend and help real scientists gather data on the natural world around you! City Nature Challenge is a great way to engage with the outdoors and observe nature. You can even make your observations while hiking a TRACK Trail. Check out our list of TRACK Trails in participating city-regions.

And for children? 74% of kids are not getting enough daily physical activity. But how can we find the time to work on physical activity between school, homework, jobs, meetings, commutes, etc.? Perhaps it could be easier if we knew exactly how much we should dedicate to our physical well-being
