PARKS & RECREATION MONTH
July
is
In a recent study and report by the National Recreation and Park Association, it was found that local public park and recreation agencies in the United States generated nearly $218 billion in economic activity.
The report included a state-level analysis that highlights the economic impact of local parks in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
California ranked #1 with the highest economic impact with $23.6 billion.
When combined with the ability to deliver happier and healthier communities, parks and recreation transforms our cities, towns and counties into vibrant and prosperous communities for all.
