Top 5 National Parks Near Big Businesses
Happy Parks and Recreation Month! This July, we celebrate 36 years of proudly recognizing the value that parks and recreation have on our quality of life. The positive impacts that nature has on both physical and mental health are well known. Even with this knowledge, it’s not always easy to carve out time for outdoor activity. No matter where you are in the United States, you can use the National Park Service’s Find a Park Tool to search for green space near you.
In celebration of National Parks and Recreation month, SiteWell Solutions has developed the first ever “Wilderness Meets Workplace” list. This list consists of the top five National Parks near big businesses. Been considering a career change? Any of these businesses will get you a little closer to the health and wellness benefits that come from spending time in nature.
