July is National Parks and Recreation Month

What is National Park and Recreation Month?

National Parks and Recreation Month, is the time of year dedicated to the wonderful local and state parks that were created for our enjoyment and wellbeing. It was established in 1985, by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) to promote awareness about the importance of our National and State parks.

Throughout this month, the NRPA is planning special events and distributing digital/printed media to encourage all of us to take a break from our busy schedules to appreciate all the delightful parks and recreation resources in our communities. It is an important month to participate in because it helps remind our local leaders and legislation of how important it is to devote time, resources, and energy into maintaining our parks so that they can stay safe and clean.

Why are parks so important to us?

  • Going to the park and exercising is beneficial to our physical health.

  • Going to the park and spending time in nature is beneficial to our mental health.

  • Parks provide a wonderful setting for celebrations like barbeques, birthday parties and picnics.

  • Many parks offer team sports, summer camps, classes and other community programs.

  • Parks promote economic development.

  • Parks help create safer neighborhoods and encourage engagement among citizens.

  • Parks help keep the air and water clean.

  • Our National Parks attract visitors from all over the world.

  • National Parks provide a home for our native plants and animals, many of which are endangered species.
