Park Rx
The mission of Park Rx is to enable healthcare providers to prescribe patient visits to parks and other natural areas in real time in the clinical practice setting.
The VISION of the program is to strengthen the connection between natural areas and improve the human condition via healthcare providers recognizing and embracing nature as a resource for improving our physical, mental, and societal well-being.
Park Rx America is the only Park Rx program to link a “park formulary’’ (searchable database of parks) directly into the electronic health record (EHR) granting medical providers the ability to prescribe parks “in real-time” to their patients.
Program Overview
The Department of Parks and Recreation has joined the national park prescription initiative (Park Rx). Park Rx is a program that uses the connection between healthcare professionals, parks and recreation specialists, and organizations, on public lands to improve the physical and mental health of the individuals and communities they serve. The Department of Parks and Recreation is excited by this new partnership and is dedicated to utilizing this new avenue to connect patients/customers with our parks and services in order to improve their quality of life. We believe this will encourage overall behavioral change, improve health outcomes, and foster new stewards and advocates for public lands.
Benefits of Park Rx
Substantial research has already been done regarding the therapeutic benefits of being in nature. For instance, spending time in green spaces lowers cortisol levels and blood pressure. Park Rx America is collaborating with academics to further the effectiveness of the Park Rx America park prescription model.
Goals of Park Rx America
- Help doctors and other health professionals “prescribe nature” to patients and families during routine delivery of health care
- Change patient and family behavior through increased time spent outdoors (subsequently reducing the effects of chronic disease)
- Create the next generation of environmental and park stewards through outdoor exploration and experience
- Evaluate the effects of Park Rx on park utilization, overall park experience, and measurable health outcomes
- Publish research findings in peer-reviewed journals and publications pertaining to health and wellness, public lands, outdoors, nature, and recreation.
Additional Information
For more information, visit Park Rx America.

Healthy Vending is one step in the right direction on your path to wellness. It’s time to Live Smart, Eat Smart!
M-NCPPC is creating healthy communities through people, parks, and programs. We’re bringing healthier snack and beverage choices to our vending machines throughout our various parks and recreation facilities all over the county.
Why? We care about you and we care about your health!
Why? Experts confirm that small steps to make healthier food and beverage options available in vending machines can help to reduce Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other recurring diseases.
Why? Healthy grab-n-go food choices in our vending machines will help shape a healthier future for our communities.
- What is Smart Vending?
- For the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC), Smart Vending is a campaign to provide healthier snack and beverage choices in vending machines on M-NCPPC properties including the Department of Parks and Recreation.
- Why has Smart Vending begun at Department of Parks and Recreation facilities?
- We care about your health!
- Prevention and management of chronic disease is essential for improving the overall health, life expectancy and quality of life for all our patrons and employees.
- We want to create healthy communities through people, parks, and programs.
- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other health experts, small steps, like making healthier food and beverage choices more widely available in vending machines, can help reduce the frequency of Type 2 diabetes, obesity and other recurring diseases.
- We want to work with our partners to reduce obesity and to promote a wellness within the County.
- Health and wellness is a major focus of its Formula 2040: Functional Master Plan for Parks, Recreation and Open Space.
