Legacy of Parks was a 1970s New Federalism style program promoted by the Nixon administration that turned federal land over to the states for historical, cultural and recreational purposes. In 1972, the U.S. Congress appropriated $200 million from the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund to support the program with the goal of conserving wild areas and saving the disappearing open spaces around the country's urban areas.
