house 07/02/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to make September 17, 2026, a free entrance day at National Park Service and other federal recreation sites to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States. Our goal is to encourage everyone to enjoy and appreciate these public lands without the barrier of fees.

No entrance fees means everyone gets a chance to enjoy our public lands—because the outdoors shouldn’t have a price tag.

One free day won’t bankrupt the park system, but it also won’t solve endless government spending.

A fee-free day sounds nice, but is one day enough to truly welcome all Americans?

I’m all for free parks, as long as Uncle Sam isn’t footing the bill every single time.

Great PR for the parks, but let’s see if this actually sparks more visits beyond just that free day.

Free parks for a free people—finally a bill that says nature isn’t just for the wealthy.

A win for the people: celebrating America by opening our doors, not closing them with fees.

Cutting costs for one day is symbolic, but what about year-round access for everyone?

Celebrate freedom by cutting taxes, not by giving away our national treasures for free.
