HARRISBURG – The PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources marked the third annual Outdoors for All Day this past Saturday at Italian Lake Park in Harrisburg to ensure all Pennsylvanians have access to parks, forests, trails, and outdoor recreation. An Outdoors for All Day was held last month in Lancaster’s Reservoir Park. DCNR Deputy Secretary Mike Walsh said the event showed what access to the outdoors can mean for people, from the sense of belonging it creates to the mental and physical benefits that come from connecting with nature. This year’s event brought together more than 15 regional organizations and community groups for a free, family friendly celebration at the park. Visitors enjoyed interactive activities, environmental education, games, music, dance, food, and the chance to try rowing on the water.
