Each year in July, Parks & Recreation month is celebrated across the country. The promotion and theme each year are led by the National Recreation & Park Association, which is comprised of thousands of parks & recreation professionals in every state.
The services that park and recreation professionals provide are essential to building thriving communities. Together, we’re building and maintaining accessible, inclusive and sustainable parks and recreation programs that deliver powerful benefits to our communities. As park and recreation professionals, you make a positive impact on the lives of your community members every single day. Let’s come together this year and show the world just how much parks and recreation means to our communities. We can’t wait to celebrate with you how we "Build together, Play together"! Parks & Recreation Professionals Day will be honored again this year on Friday, July 18th, 2025! Thanks to Brett Leonard, VRPA Board member for meeting representatives at the State House in March of 2025 to get this resolution acknowledged again in 2025. |
