July is National Park and Recreation Month. Join the City in celebrating our strong, vibrant and resilient community.

This year's theme - "The Power Of" - was picked by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) for the many ways park and recreation brings us together, strengthens our health and well-being, and builds more resilient, connected communities.

• The Power of Connection: Parks and recreation is where relationships grow, cultures meet and communities bond.
• The Power of Play: From playgrounds to programs to youth sports, play fuels creativity, joy and lifelong learning.
• The Power of Community: Public spaces offer room for everyone to gather, celebrate and heal.
• The Power of Nature: Nature restores and inspires us, and parks ensure everyone can access its benefits.
• The Power of Belonging: Welcoming parks and programs make every person feel valued.
• The Power of Well-Being: Parks and recreation advances health, resilience and shared community benefits.

Check out the following daily July activities to engage with the community, give back and spend time in one of the City's beautiful parks.
