Whitpain Township: Township Recognizes Park And Recreation Month

Press release from the Whitpain Township:

July 9, 2021

This month, join the Township for Park and Recreation Month, as we celebrate how Whitpain is stronger, more vibrant, and more resilient because of parks and recreation. A variety of activities are planned for residents of all ages and abilities — including camps, stories in the park, and a concert and movie.

 Whitpain Township is celebrating Park and Recreation Month, an initiative of the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), by inviting our community to share their experiences, memories, and stories about what parks and recreation mean to them.

With everything from visiting your favorite Township park or trail, or attending one of our special events, there are plenty of ways that you can celebrate with us as well! NRPA encourages people that support parks and recreation to share their park and recreation story, as well as why their local park and recreation professionals are important to them, with the hashtag #OurParkAndRecStory.

“The services that park and recreation professionals provide are vital for our communities — from protecting open space and natural resources to helping fight obesity and providing activities and resources for all people," said Parks and Recreation Director Kurt Baker. "This has been especially true throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Park and Recreation Month encourages everyone to reflect on the exponential value park and recreation professionals bring to communities.”

The Township will celebrate Park and Recreation Month through the following special events.
