The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department's Feature Friday

Each Friday, The Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. This week, we are going to deviate from our typical Feature Friday content because it’s a special day in the Parks and Recreation community!

The whole month of July is Parks and Recreation Month but today, July 15, is Park and Recreation Professionals Day! This day is dedicated to honoring all the committed professionals who work tirelessly behind the scenes to provide the high-quality programs and infrastructure we’ve come desire and expect in our parks and public spaces.

So today we want to say thank you to our team of park professionals! We are extremely proud of the hard work and talent that our team brings to the community. They are a team that holds themselves and each other accountable while still maintaining a fun and exciting work environment. Often being the first to volunteer a helping hand, they are employees we can always count on. Because of that, we want to say thank you to each one of them today!
