Since 1985, people in the United States have celebrated Park and Recreation Month in July to promote building strong, vibrant and resilient communities through the power of parks and recreation and to recognize the more than 160,000 full-time park and recreation professionals — along with hundreds of thousands of part-time and seasonal workers and volunteers — that maintain our country’s local, state and community parks.
Park and recreation agencies across the country are recognizing the month with summer programs, events, contests, commemorations and celebrations. 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. Parks Make Life Better Month encourages everyone to reflect on the exponential value park and recreation professionals bring to communities.
We hope you join us in our parks, beaches, open spaces all month long and check out our special events and activities for the month of July!
