The National Parks are coming to Nationals Park! (Say that five times fast.)

The National Park Service is coming to Nats Park for a special night Friday as the Nationals host a series opener against the Marlins. The night will be filled with National Park-themed events all night to celebrate the National Park Service Centennial, and we're inviting you to join the fun!

All night long, you can be social with the National Park Service and MASN by sharing your memories of your favorite national parks by using #FindYourPark across all social media platforms!

Meanwhile, here are some highlights of the National Parks Service's night at the ballpark:

* National Park Service director Jonathan B. Jarvis will receive a ceremonial bat from the Nationals
* A group of fourth graders will be attending the game and receive recognition by the Nationals to celebrate the Every Kid in a Park initiative
* Buddy Bison, the mascot of the National Park Trust, will be running in the Presidents Race

If you can't make it out to Nationals Park, be sure to follow along on social media and tune in to our broadcast on MASN2 at 6:30 p.m.
