July is National Parks & Recreation Month!
#RiseUpJuly
To celebrate Parks and Recreation Month, we are asking our community to Rise Up and join in on the fun activities we have planned for the month!
All events are free to attend.
Scavenger Hunt
From July 1st to August 30th, visit each of the Parks listed on the activity sheet to gather all of the unique code words. The code words will then create a sentence. Those who submit a completed scavenger hunt will receive a prize!
