The Department of the Interior (DOI) is planning to disburse $461 million to all 50 U.S. states, territories, and the District of Columbia for projects related to playgrounds, parks, trails, and open spaces.

“The funding, administered through the National Park Service, will support the development and rehabilitation of parks, conservation areas and outdoor recreation facilities in communities large and small,” the DOI said in a June 8 statement. “These investments will help expand access to outdoor recreation, improve visitor amenities and support projects that enhance quality of life for local residents.”
