2022 Park and Recreation Month Theme:

We Rise Up for Parks and Recreation

At NRPA, We Rise Up for Parks and Recreation and all the professionals who build strong, vibrant and resilient communities through the power of parks and recreation. This July, we are bringing attention to how important it is to rise up and support our field, because every day, park and recreation professionals rise up for their communities in service of equity, climate-readiness, and overall health and well-being.

There’s no better way to celebrate Park and Recreation Month than by highlighting the people who faithfully serve their communities all year long. Join us this July as “We Rise Up for Parks and Recreation!”

We will be releasing this year's logo, toolkit, resources and other materials very soon to help you celebrate Park and Recreation Month in your community. Sign up to receive email updates on the form to the right!
