National Park Week 2026
Celebrating Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area
August 22nd - 30th
ABOUT NATIONAL PARK WEEK
Each year, people across the country celebrate the natural and cultural treasures protected by the National Park Service during National Park Week! From iconic landscapes like Yosemite to neighborhood escapes CRNRA, it’s a time to recognize how parks connect, inspire, and restore communities.
It’s also a reminder that places like CRNRA rely on community support. With 3 million visitors each year, this beloved urban national park faces ongoing challenges, from limited federal funding to staffing and maintenance needs.
As the park’s official nonprofit partner, we at CNPC work alongside the National Park Service to help fill critical gaps through community support, volunteer engagement, and projects that enhance the park experience. Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing ways to explore the park, get involved, and support the future of CRNRA.
How to Support CRNRA During National Park Week
Visit CRNRA
Whether it’s your first time or your hundredth, come enjoy your favorite unit!
When you purchase a daily or annual parking pass, you’re doing more than just covering your visit,
you’re investing in the park’s future. In fact,
80% of all park fee revenue stays right here at CRNRA!
Help Fill the Gaps

your gift helps protect this park when it needs it most!
