The City of Fort Collins is joining the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) in celebrating Parks and Recreation Month this July. From movie nights to live music, the Fort Collins Parks and Recreation departments are set to host a wide range of dynamic, fun activities for the whole family.

This special month is about celebrating “the power of parks and recreation” in the Fort Collins community. Scheduled events include an ongoing scavenger hunt at The Farm, an outdoor movie screening at Collindale Golf Course, free days at recreation centers and more! Plus, the City will host its annual Kids in the Park event at Twin Silo Community Park on July 31, where community members of all ages are encouraged to get outside and play.

“We’re excited to join NRPA in recognizing the power of parks and recreation in the Fort Collins community,” said LeAnn Williams, Director of Parks and Recreation at the City of Fort Collins. “Our community lives and breathes recreation and the outdoors, whether that’s participating in a summer sports league or enjoying a beautiful day in the park, and that’s what we’re here to celebrate this month.”
