Dir Corner Jul 16
Since 1985, Americans have celebrated Park & Recreation Month in July. Parks and recreation services are vital to Cornelius - from protecting open space and natural resources, to helping fight obesity, to providing activities and resources for all walks of life. Park & Recreation Month encourages everyone to reflect on the exponential value parks and recreation bring to communities. From Batman to baseball, from ceramics to Cardio Funk, we have something for everyone this month and every month of the year!
