The central park service site provides basic visitor information for each park, including location, contact numbers, seasons and hours of operation, directions, fees, reservations, recommended activities, special events, and visitor statistics. Given the immense popularity of the parks, it is not surprising that others have assembled their own directories. Of course, the National Parks are more than mere tourist attractions. They are also places of scientific and historic study. The National Park Service is assisted by a number of local nonprofit organizations.
Sales revenues help support additional interpretation, education, and visitor service programs.
