📢 This July, get ready to Build Together, Play Together with Good for PA Parks and Recreation! 📢
We're thrilled to announce that this year marks a special milestone: the 40th anniversary of Park and Recreation Month! 🎉 Since 1985, July has been a time to honor the incredible park and recreation professionals who are the backbone of our communities.
Think about it:
🌳 Together, we're building and maintaining sustainable parks and green spaces for current and future generations to enjoy.
🤸♀️ Together, we're building thriving communities focused on health and well-being, providing spaces for everyone to get active and connect.
🤝 Together, we're building high-quality programs and spaces that are accessible and inclusive for all, ensuring every Pennsylvanian can participate.
🧘♀️🎨 Together, we help people play and connect – whether it's through yoga in the park, engaging art classes, joyful picnics, or countless other activities that create lifelong memories and friendships.
From the quiet beauty of a walking trail to the energetic buzz of a community sports league, none of this would be possible without the more than 160,000 full-time park and recreation professionals, along with hundreds of thousands of part-time, seasonal workers, and dedicated volunteers, who tirelessly maintain our country’s close-to-home parks.
Join us this month as we celebrate their invaluable contributions and the power of parks and recreation to bring us all together!
