Senate Resolution by Senator Brodeur designates February 4, 2026, as Florida State Parks Day, recognizing the significant contributions of Florida's state park system. The resolution highlights the management and protection of 175 parks, trails, and historic sites covering over 815,000 acres, which include 100 miles of pristine beaches. In the fiscal year 2024-2025, these parks generated an estimated $3.6 billion in economic impact, attracted over 28 million visitors, and supported nearly 50,000 jobs, showcasing their vital role in the state's economy and recreation.

Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the accolades received by Florida's state parks, including being a four-time winner of the National Gold Medal for Excellence in Parks and Recreation Management. It emphasizes the parks' importance in providing habitats for native wildlife and their role in conservation efforts, particularly through the Florida Forever program, which has protected over 1 million acres of land. The resolution aims to celebrate the value of state parks in promoting outdoor activities, community engagement, and environmental stewardship.
