Park and Recreation Month has been celebrated across the nation since 1985. This July, be a park rock star and show America how parks and recreation make your life extraordinary!

Get excited for July’s Park and Recreation Month line up:

– There are five weekends this July! Sign the “5 in July Park Pledge” and make a commitment to visit a park or recreation area/facility every weekend. Create a healthy weekend habit!

– Demonstrate the power of parks and recreation through NRPA’s 2011 “Rock Your Park” Flash Mob Contest. NRPA will choose one agency and one non-agency group as winners, and announce the results on August 12!
