This grant, offered by the National Park Service, is specifically designed to provide essential matching financial assistance for the acquisition and development of vital land and water resources across the United States. Its primary purpose is to empower states and, subsequently, local governments, to acquire new properties and enhance existing ones that are crucial for public outdoor recreation purposes. The program aims to support a wide range of projects, including the creation of new parks, expansion of existing recreational areas, and the development of facilities that promote active lifestyles and public enjoyment of natural spaces. By funding these initiatives, this grant contributes significantly to conserving America’s natural heritage and ensuring accessible, high-quality outdoor recreational opportunities for current and future generations.
