Through efforts by National Recreation Parks Association (NRPA), the U.S. House of Representatives passed an official resolution in 2009 making July Park and Recreation Month.
This Park and Recreation Month, we are bringing attention to how important it is to rise up and support parks and recreation, because every day, park and recreation professionals rise up for their communities in service of equity, health, and wellness.
Parks are at the center of so many experiences and memories — moments that park and recreation professionals help make happen. Our local parks are often our first experiences in nature, our introduction to a favorite hobby or physical activity. They are places to gather with friends and family, spaces to celebrate life’s special moments, spots of respite and healing, sites that connect us with essential community services, and so much more.
Wilmington Parks & Recreation has numerous events and programs planned for July. One activity is listed below, and you can view others on the event calendar at the bottom of this page.
