Body
BACKGROUND:
The National Recreation and Park Association is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, as well as 30 years of Park and Recreation Month recognizing the enduring importance of parks and recreation for the world. From the start, parks were created to serve the people - to give them a place to appreciate nature, exercise, socialize and have fun. This mission lives on and will continue to intensify into the future. This July, let’s celebrate the past, present and future of parks and recreation.
