July is National Parks and Recreation Month!
Since 1985, America has celebrated July as the nation’s official Park and Recreation Month. Created by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), Park and Recreation Month specifically highlights the essential and powerful role local park and recreation professionals play in building stronger, more vibrant, and more resilient communities all across the country.
This July, we are bringing attention to how important it is to rise up and support the field of parks and recreation because every day, park and recreation professionals rise up for their communities in service of equity, climate readiness, and overall health and well-being.
In Lynnwood, you can celebrate Park and Recreation Month by joining us out in the parks this summer at one of our fun community events. Learn about all the exciting events we have planned below or by visiting the Lynnwood Community Events Calendar
Lynnwood is leading initiatives and providing opportunities for people of all ages, abilities, and identities to achieve healthier lifestyles, promote and understand nature and environmental resilience, as well as bringing the community closer through a variety of programs and services.

 We are asking community members what kinds of improvements would make Lynnwood's parks more welcoming, inclusive, environmentally resilient and support better health to help us identify and prioritize capital projects for the next ten years. So, we want to know:
