National Park Rx Day’s flagship event will be held in Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park (2437 15th St. NW) on April 24th, at the closing of National Park Week! The goal of Park Rx is to prescribe nature to patients and families to encourage good health in one of the 350+ parks and green spaces across Washington, DC.

The event will feature the National Park Service, Surgeon General (invited), Dr. Robert Zarr of Park Rx, US Health and Human Services, DC Health Department, local health providers, and patients and families from across the District. Community partners will be activating the park with drum circle, yoga, walks and other activities that help us stay healthy and connect to the earth and each other outside!
