July is Parks and Recreation Month!
Since 1985, America has celebrated July as the nation’s official Park and Recreation Month. Created by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), Park and Recreation Month specifically highlights the vital role local parks and recreation play in conservation and health and wellness.
This year, the City of Tualatin and NRPA want everyone to go OUTside, get INspired, change their OUTlook and get INvolved in the community. We encourage and invite all people in the city to celebrate Park and Recreation Month during July by getting OUTside and INto their local parks.
This year’s theme, “OUT is IN,” was crowdsourced and then voted on by NRPA members via social media. The theme is intended to bring awareness to the need to connect more people, adults and children alike, to nature and the outdoors. In fact, a recent nationwide survey released by NRPA and conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs found that nearly three in 10 U.S. adults do not spend time outside on a daily basis and of those who do spend daily time outside, almost half spend less than 30 minutes in the fresh air.
In Tualatin, you can help reverse this trend and take the OUT is IN challenge by doing a typical indoor activity outdoors everyday in July and win a prize! http://www.nrpa.org/July-Challenge/
The City of Tualatin is leading initiatives and providing opportunities for people to achieve healthier lifestyles, promote and understand nature and conservation as well as bringing the community closer through a variety of programs and services.
