National Park & Recreation Month
Since 1985, the United States has celebrated Park and Recreation Month in July to promote the importance parks and recreation have in our health and well-being. To learn more, visit the National Park & Recreation Association(link is external).

- We’re celebrating Park and Recreation Month this July by highlighting how park and recreation professionals help create thriving communities when we Build Together, Play Together.
- What’s your community building toward? NRPA encourages all people to share how their local park and recreation agency is building parks or programs that improve their lives. #BuildTogetherPlayTogether.
- Share how parks and recreation in your community creates opportunities for you and your friends, family and neighbors to play together. #BuildTogetherPlayTogether.
