PRESS RELEASE, 7\/11\/08<\/p>\n
“There is nothing so American as our national parks…. The
\nfundamental idea behind the parks…is that the country belongs to the
\npeople, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the
\nlives of all of us.” President Franklin D. Roosevelt<\/p>\n
The National Park Service has the honor of preserving natural and
\ncultural areas valued by all, and as such, has the responsibility to
\nprovide opportunities to enjoy and experience those areas to all
\nvisitors. From Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to Yosemite
\nNational Park in California, from Gettysburg National Military Park in
\nPennsylvania to Lewis and Clark National Historical Park in Oregon,
\nfrom Padre Island National Seashore in Texas to Isle Royale in
\nMichigan, and from Coronado National Monument in Arizona to Fort Union
\nTrading Post in North Dakota \u2013 all visitors deserve the privilege of
\nexperiencing the significance of these and any of the other 391 units
\nof the National Park Service.<\/p>\n
National Parks have been set aside for all to experience and
\nappreciate, and each of the over 276 million visitors to the parks
\nfinds their own meaning and value in a personal way. But what about
\nvisitors with special needs \u2013 are they given the same opportunities
\nto experience and appreciate the National Parks? The answer to that is
\n– in most cases \u2013 Yes. National Park units are constantly moving
\nforward to provide trails, campgrounds, museum exhibits, ranger
\nprograms, and other visitor opportunities for visitors with
\ndisabilities.<\/p>\n
The National Park Service has developed and made available a web site
\nto aid visitors with disabilities and special needs to find accessible
\ntrails, programs, activities, and other features at national park
\nunits nationwide. It is hoped that we can assist visitors and their
\nfamilies and friends in travel planning to the NPS site of their
\nchoice. Visit the \u201cNational Parks: Accessible to Everyone\u201d website
\nat http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/pub_aff\/access\/index.htm
\nto learn about what opportunities are available in parks for
\nvisitors with disabilities and special needs.<\/p>\n
The web site will remain a work in progress and will continue to add
\ninformation as it becomes available. We may have missed information
\nfrom some parks and if an NPS unit is not highlighted here, it does
\nnot mean it does not have accessible features. To obtain information
\nabout units not included in this website, please call them or visit
\ntheir websites, which can be reached via www.nps.gov. Many of the
\nparks include sections on their websites that are about accessibility
\nand can be found in the websites\u2019 indexes.<\/p>\n
