Parks & Recreation Month
Park and Recreation Month 2026: The Power of Parks & Recreation
Launched in 1985, this year marks the 41th anniversary of Park and Recreation Month!
In July 2026, Park and Recreation Month highlights "The Power Of" parks and recreation and the people who make it all possible. Parks and recreation brings us together, strengthens our health and well-being, and builds more resilient, connected communities.
Throughout the month, we’re celebrating the many ways parks and recreation reveals the power of what connects us:
The Power of Connection: Parks and recreation is where relationships grow, cultures meet and communities bond.
The Power of Play: From playgrounds to programs to youth sports, play fuels creativity, joy and lifelong learning.
The Power of Community: Public spaces offer room for everyone to gather, celebrate and heal.
The Power of Nature: Nature restores and inspires us, and parks ensure everyone can access its benefits.
The Power of Belonging: Welcoming parks and programs make every person feel valued.
The Power of Well-Being: Parks and recreation advances health, resilience and shared community benefits.
This July, Perkasie Borough’s Park and Recreation department is celebrating this theme all month long by providing many opportunities for our community to play together through programs and events in our park system.
Please see the calendar (subject to change) and scroll down for more details on all events and or programs!
