National Park Service removes Juneteenth, MLK Day as fee-free days, and adds Trump's birthday [View all]

President Donald Trump has taken an extraordinary step in his efforts to turn his birthday into a national celebration, with the National Park Service revealing that on June 14, his birthday, admission to national parks will be free for U.S. citizens.

In addition, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth have been removed from the schedule of free park admission days, despite both being federally recognized holidays.

Other days that will now be free include Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day weekend, the 110th birthday of the National Park Service, Constitution Day, and President Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday.

Other days removed from the schedule include the first day of National Park Week, the anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act, and National Public Lands Day.
