To mark this national celebration, CPRD leadership reflects on the lasting impact of parks and recreation in Greeley.
“Parks and recreation are essential to a thriving, healthy and connected Greeley,” said Diana Frick, Director of Culture, Parks and Recreation.
“Whether it’s creating inclusive spaces for play, offering programs that support physical and mental well-being, preserving natural habitats or hosting events that bring neighbors together, our team is proud to serve the community every day. The impact of our work can be seen in the smiles at the splash pad, the families gathered in our parks and the restored trails that connect people to nature.”
With everything from parks and natural areas to festivals and special events, there are plenty of ways that you can celebrate with us!
NRPA and the City of Greeley encourage everyone who supports parks and recreation to post why their local park and recreation professionals are important to them by using #BuildTogetherPlayTogether.
