We are lucky enough to live in a state with some of the best parks in the country, and we enjoy them often.

For more than 40 years, Coca-Cola has supported America’s parks through partnerships with individual parks and national park organizations, and they have donated more than $14 million for restoration and renovation of our country’s parks.

Coca-Cola's America Is Your Park campaign urges families to get out, discover fun ways to get active in the park while helping their favorite park win big.

Now through through September 6th, 2011, go to LivePositively.com and vote for your favorite park. The three parks that receive the most votes will be awarded recreation grants totaling $175, 000. These grants will help restore, rebuild or enhance recreation areas in parks where people can play and be active.

You can cast your vote in several ways: Click on their favorite park and vote, upload photos of themselves in their favorite park or “check in” from the park using Facebook Places. And, starting August 10, you can even upload video of yourself in your favorite park.

So, go on, get out there and enjoy America's Parks, and help your favorite one win!

No payment or compensation was received for this post. I did, however work on an earlier project with Coca-Cola and got to learn more about Live Positively, I just thought this was good information to share.
