For Immediate Release: Monday, July 11, 2022
July is Park and Recreation Month, and Montgomery County Recreation invites residents to come out and enjoy one, or all, of the hundreds of recreation programs offered that contribute to a healthier lifestyle and enhance the quality of life for all ages, cultures, and abilities. The month-long celebration is a National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) initiative.
“Montgomery County is more welcoming, stronger, vibrant, and resilient because of the outstanding recreation programs and services,” said Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich. “I hope everyone will take advantage of all the excellent amenities offered by our team at Montgomery County Recreation and take some time this month to thank them for all their great work.”
“July comes in with a bang with our Independence Day fireworks and concerts and throughout the month we reach thousands of residents at our senior centers, community recreation centers, and swimming pools, or through our summer programs which serve many age groups,” said Montgomery County Recreation Director Robin Riley. “The work we do every day makes a difference to those we serve. I am incredibly proud of the hard-working recreation team members who ensure our residents have high-quality, essential recreation services.”
Montgomery County Recreation joins NRPA in encouraging community members to share their experiences, memories, and stories about what the recreation department means to them.
