Title
Proclamation Declaring July 2024 as Parks and Recreation Month in Commerce City, Colorado
Body
Summary and Background Information:
Since 1985, people in the United States have celebrated Park and Recreation Month in July to promote building strong, healthy 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.
In 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives designated July as National Park and Recreation Month in recognition of the great societal value of parks and recreation facilities and their importance in local communities across the United States. Since then, hundreds of park and recreation agencies across the country engage with their communities during Park and Recreation Month each year.
