This month is dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the more than 160,000 full-time park and recreation professionals — along with hundreds of thousands of part-time and seasonal workers and volunteers — who maintain our country’s local, state and community parks.

“I’ve participated in Park and Recreation Month for 20-plus years, and I look forward to my second year here in Orange Beach,” said Nicole Ard, Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Orange Beach. “This is one of my favorite times of the year. It's always busy, but it highlights how vital parks and recreation are for a successful community. With the full support of our city leaders, I'm thrilled to offer a range of family-friendly events for Orange Beach residents throughout July, and excited to see our fantastic Parks and Rec team shine all month long.

NRPA and the City of Orange Beach encourage everyone who supports parks and recreation to post why their local park and recreation professionals are important to them on social media with #BuildTogetherPlayTogether.
