Family Health & Fitness Day 

Celebrated the second Saturday in June each year, NRPA's Family Health & Fitness Day is a special day promoting the importance of parks and recreation in keeping communities healthy and active.

On this day, park and recreation agencies everywhere are encouraged to participate by inviting families to be active and healthy at their local park or recreation center. Whether that involves hosting a special event, such as a family fun run, planning a health and wellness fair, or simply encouraging community members to engage with your local trails and facilities through your social media platforms, there are endless opportunities to be as creative and fun as you'd like with your celebration!  

This annual campaign is a unique opportunity for everyone — park and recreation agencies, community members, healthcare providers, public health organizations and sponsors — to discover, embrace and share the power of well-being in communities.
