Parks & Recreation Month

July is National Parks & Recreation Month,  a nationwide celebration recognizing the impact Parks and Recreation have on building healthier, stronger and more connected communities. This year’s theme, “The Power Of,” highlights the incredible ways parks, programs, facilities, and recreation professionals create opportunities for connection, wellness and belonging every day.

Throughout the month, the community will celebrate:

• 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.

July will feature a variety of programs for all ages. At the Queen Creek Recreation & Aquatic Center, programs include a water balloon day for ages 9-12, Back-to-School Bash with games and crafts, Wibit Wednesdays featuring the inflatable Wibit Action Tower and additional themed programs throughout the month. The celebration will also include pop-up events at Town parks with games, activities and popsicles for the community to enjoy.

From recreation and fitness to family-friendly activities and community engagement opportunities, the Town of Queen Creek community can take part in experiences designed to bring people together all month long. A full schedule of programs can be found here.
