City Council at its June 4 meeting issued a proclamation recognizing July as Parks & Recreation Month and July 19 as Parks & Recreation Professionals Day.
The proclamation states that Parks & Recreation is an integral part of the community and promotes health and wellness, as well as time spent in nature. Parks & Recreation further encourages physical activities and offers programming and educational activities.
“Parks & Recreation is fundamental to the environmental well-being of our community,” Mayor Richard Johnson read from the proclamation. “Parks & Recreation is essential and adaptable infrastructure that makes our communities resilient in the face of natural disasters … The U.S. House of Representatives has designated July as Parks & Recreation Month.”
Johnson encouraged all citizens to “take advantage of this resource and get out and enjoy what we have in our Parks & Recreation situation.”
