July is Park and Recreation Month

Since 1985, July has been observed as Park and Recreation Month. During this July, communities are being encouraged to share what they love about parks and recreation, including the many benefits parks bring to their neighborhoods (including health and wellness, nature, community spirit, and social equity).
