GeoLocation would be better... National Park Challenge should be in a national park, not around your neighborhood. ??Unfortunately, that would exclude 20 US states:
[LIST=1]
* Alabama
* Connecticut
* Delaware
* Georgia
* Illinois
* Iowa
* Kansas
* Louisiana
* Maryland
* Massachuesetts
* Mississippi
* Nebraska
* New Hampshire
* New Jersey
* New York
* Oklahoma
* Pennsylvania
* Rhode Island
* Vermont
* Wisconsin
And I am not sure encouraging folks to drive or fly out (increasing carbon footprint) is in the spirit of this challenge.

At least make it mandatory that the workout has to be outdoor type for this one. Just changing the number of minutes/distance isn’t a good differentiator between different badges.I suppose for any disabled or elderly folks who may not as easily get OUTDOORS, this is merely incentive to get active.
What they could do is have a FREE National Park Workout for the Apple Fitness app where it could be a pre-defined park or some other Indoor activity that at least has the idea of being at a park.
