CELEBRATE PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH - July is National Park and Recreation Month, and the National Recreation and Park Association's (NRPA) theme this year is "We Rise Up for Parks and Recreation." The NRPA and Tucson Parks and Recreation are bringing attention to how important it is to rise up and support parks and recreation, because every day, parks and recreation professionals rise up for their communities in service of equity, climate-readiness, and overall health and well-being. 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. Park and Recreation Month encourages everyone to reflect on the exponential value parks and recreation professionals bring to communities. Find out how you can celebrate all month long with free pool parties (story below) and by sharing your parks and recreation stories at the links below.
