July- National Park and Recreation Month

Park and Recreation Month 2025: 

Build Together, Play TogetherPRM Main Graphic

The services that park and recreation professionals provide are essential to building thriving communities. Together, we’re building and maintaining accessible, inclusive, and sustainable parks and recreation programs that deliver powerful benefits to our communities.

We’re celebrating Park and Recreation Month this July by highlighting how park and recreation professionals help create thriving communities when we Build Together, Play Together.

For 40 years, the United States has celebrated Park and Recreation Month in July 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 — who maintain our country’s local, state, and community parks.

Park and recreation agencies nationwide are recognizing the month with summer programs, events, contests, commemorations, and celebrations.

What’s your community building toward? NRPA encourages all people to share how their local park and recreation agency is building parks or programs that improve their lives. #BuildTogetherPlayTogether
