The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources says they're expanding a program to offer visitors free sunscreen at state park beaches and swimming pools.

The state's sunscreen program began in 2017 with just two parks.
"Thousands of visitors will spend time at state parks this Memorial Day weekend and it is important to remember that protection from potentially harmful ultraviolet rays is key when spending extended time outdoors," Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Secretary Cindy Dunn said. "Thank you to the Department of Health and Impact Melanoma for continued support and expansion of this important program at our state parks. I encourage all Pennsylvanians to make sunscreen a part of their outdoors routine to ensure a fun and safe summer."
The department says this program has the potential to reach an estimated 3 million visitors this year.
A cancer prevention fund from the Department of Health covers the sunscreen's cost.
