2026 National Park and Recreation Month Video Submission
July is National Park and Recreation Month, and July 17 is National Park and Recreation Professionals Day. We’re collecting messages from residents to share with our staff. We’d love to hear about your experiences and what our parks, programs, trails, pools, community centers and staff mean to you. We would love for you to share a brief message that we will compile into one video to share with staff. We want to let them know that their work matters and is seen, appreciated and valued by the community.
