July is National Parks and Recreation month!
- The services that park and recreation professionals provide are vital for our communities - from protecting open space and natural resources to helping fight obesity and providing activities and resources for all people. This has been especially true throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Park and Recreation Month encourages everyone to reflect on the exponential value park and recreation professionals bring to communities.
- 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.
- NRPA encourages all people that support parks and recreation to share their park and recreation story on social media using #OurParkAndRecStory.
