At the Board of County Commissioners meeting on July 12, 2016,
Commissioner Melissa McKinlay presented a proclamation declaring July 2016 as
"Park and Recreation Month" in Palm Beach County.
The Palm Beach County
Parks and Recreation Department is celebrating Park and Recreation Month, an
initiative of the National
Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), and all the ways parks and
recreation has the power to transform our daily lives. From providing us places
to get fit and stay healthy to fostering new relationships and forging a
connection with nature, our close-to-home community park and recreation
facilities provide essential services, attract economic development, and improve
quality of life.
This year’s theme is “super heroes: when our powers
combine, we change lives!” It encourages park patrons to discover their super
powers at their local parks and recreation.
