JULY IS PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH |
|
Parks are at the center of so many experiences and memories — moments that park and recreation professionals help make happen. Our local parks are often our first experiences in nature, our introduction to a favorite hobby or physical activity. They are places to gather with friends and family, spaces to celebrate life’s special moments, spots of respite and healing, sites that connect us with essential community services and so much more.
To celebrate, we are encouraging you to post photos of yourself enjoying our parks and recreation facilities, programs and events and tagging @PlayLargo on Facebook and @largorec on Instagram. Don't forget to use the hashtag #OurParkandRecStory.
