Park and Recreation Month

Park and Recreation Month Our Park and Recreation Story

It’s time to share Our Park and Recreation Story! We’re celebrating Park and Recreation Month this July by highlighting the stories of how our communities are stronger, more vibrant and more resilient because of parks and recreation.


July is the perfect time to see what your local parks and recreation have to offer and share your stories about what parks and recreation mean to you.
