Millions of Americans lack access to safe, high-quality parks and outdoor spaces — but that gap is closing through the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership (ORLP) grant program. Since 2014, ORLP has invested over $450 million to help communities create new parks, revitalize existing ones, and reconnect residents with nature. With $120 million expected to be available in 2026, now is the time to learn how your community can benefit.
Join experts from the National Park Service’s Land and Water Conservation Fund and past ORLP grantees for an inside look at how the program works. You’ll walk away with:
- A clear understanding of recent updates to eligibility and application requirements
- Real-world examples of transformative ORLP projects
- Practical tips to strengthen your next grant proposal
- Awareness of upcoming technical assistance opportunities
Whether you’re a park planner, city leader, or nonprofit partner, this session will help you unlock federal resources to bring more equitable park access to your community.
