About Parks: Your Ultimate Park Guide

Our Journey

Founded in 2017, Parks is a passion project turned thriving news platform dedicated to exploring and celebrating the world's parks. We started with a simple vision: to create a one-stop resource for park enthusiasts, nature lovers, and anyone seeking outdoor inspiration. Over the years, we've grown from a small team of like-minded individuals to a vibrant community of writers, photographers, and nature advocates.
