August 22–30, 2026, marks a weeklong celebration of all things “National Parks.” This year’s National Park Week theme, “Celebrate America’s Story,” honors the nation’s 250th anniversary and the stories, landscapes, and cultural heritage that have shaped America.
Today, August 25, the National Park Service celebrates its 110th birthday. On this day in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the National Park Service Act, establishing the agency with a mission to “preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations.”
Google is joining the celebration with Doodles honoring two iconic national parks: Acadia National Park and Grand Canyon National Park.
