JULY IS PARK AND RECREATION MONTH!
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. This Park and Recreation Month, we are celebrating
the vital role park and recreation professionals play in bringing people together,
providing essential services and fostering the growth of our communities. Indeed,
parks and recreation is #wherecommunitygrows through the growth of health and
well-being, environmental resilience and economic impact/employment opportunities.

A Message from our Parks & Recreation Director
The services that park and recreation professionals provide are vital for our communities — from protecting open spaces 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 value parks and recreation bring to communities. We invite you to join the conversation
on how parks and recreation has fostered growth in your community by posting on social media and tagging City of
Shorewood and using the hashtags #WhereCommunityGrows and/or #ParkandRecMonth.
Happy Trails,
