Our Work

Parks are a place of recreation, healing, exploration, education, and wonder. Continue your park adventures even during shelter in place and find your next experience on Park Youth Exchange, where you can find dozens of virtual programming for students, families, and kids of all ages.

By sharing strategies for both physical and digital access to the park, we hope to ensure that no opportunity is out of reach for park visitors.

By sharing data across organizations, we can better understand who the park is serving (and not serving!), using that data to improve programs and reach underserved audiences.

All data displayed on this site are preliminary and have not yet undergone quality control. Written permission is required to use the data.

By creating equitable access to high quality professional development for educators, we ensure that all youth can find relevant, quality programming anywhere in the park.

Alcatraz Cruises has limited passenger capacity on ferries to the island to 20% and also enlisted enhanced safety measures on the dock and the boats to help reduce the potential spread of Covid-19. This is truly a special time to have this historic island almost entirely to yourself.

Here at the Parks Conservancy, we believe in the power of nature, public lands and the history of resistance to inspire and educate. See our ongoing list of resources that we are finding useful as we examine racism and the outdoors.
