Parks & Recreation Month
Park and Recreation Month 2024: Where You Belong
Since 1985, people in the United States have celebrated Park and Recreation Month in July to promote building strong, vibrant and resilient communities through the power of parks and recreation and to recognize the more than 160,000 full-time park and recreation professionals — along with hundreds of thousands of part-time and seasonal workers and volunteers — that maintain our country’s local, state and community parks.
This year's theme — “Where You Belong” — celebrates the many ways park and recreation professionals across the country foster a sense of belonging in their community by providing welcoming and inclusive programs, essential services for all ages and abilities, and safe, accessible spaces to build meaningful connections.
This July, Perkasie Borough’s Park and Recreation department is celebrating this theme all month long by providing many opportunities for our community to come together through programs and events in our park system.
Please see the calendar below (subject to change) and scroll down for more details on all events and or programs!
