 July is National Parks and Rec Month
Each July, we celebrate park and recreation professionals and how they improve the lives of tens of millions of people, making a lasting impact in communities across the country.
This years theme is "The Power Of" which highlights parks and recreation and the people who make it all possible. Parks and recreation brings us together, strengthens our health and well-being, and builds more resilient, connected communities.
We’re celebrating the many ways parks and recreation reveals the power of what connects us:
-
The Power of Connection: Parks and recreation is where relationships grow, cultures meet and communities bond.
-
The Power of Play: From playgrounds to programs to youth sports, play fuels creativity, joy and lifelong learning.
-
The Power of Community: Public spaces offer room for everyone to gather, celebrate and heal.
-
The Power of Nature: Nature restores and inspires us, and parks ensure everyone can access its benefits.
-
The Power of Belonging: Welcoming parks and programs make every person feel valued.
-
The Power of Well-Being: Parks and recreation advances health, resilience and shared community benefits.
