July is Parks Make Life Better Month!
July is Parks Make Life Better Month, a month that celebrates our state’s recreation programming and public open spaces. The California Parks & Recreation Society (CPRS) believes there should be public investment in our parks, open spaces, and recreation to achieve positive environmental, economic, and health outcomes for all California residents.
CPRS and its agency members seek to identify and showcase the values and benefits of parks and recreation within a community, which can be achieved by:
- Building loyalty for parks and recreation services,
- Heightening the profession’s bargaining power and independence,
- Stimulating growth of programs and services,
- Attracting talented people to the profession,
- Getting the public involved, and
- Achieving greater resources and support.
It’s no secret that City parks and open spaces have multiple benefits on residents and visitors alike. Parks and recreation programming have multiple benefits on a local community, such as enhancing one’s physical and psychological health, strengthening local communities, and making our cities and neighborhoods more attractive places to live and work. Parks and recreation facilities provide residents and visitors opportunities for physical activity that help people of all ages lead a more active lifestyle.
The City of Huntington Beach is a diverse community that includes over 200,000 residents, and sees over one million visitors annually. It also has an expansive Community & Library Services Department that encompasses multiple divisions including:
- Recreation programs and services,
- Library programs and services,
- Programs and services for older adults,
- A cultural arts center,
- Over 760 acres of open space,
- A beach-front RV campground,
- Community and specific events,
- Facility rentals,
- And more!
We invite you to celebrate with us!
