Tennessee State Parks is celebrating Park and Recreation Month in July by inviting visitors to share their park experiences Online. The project is part of a variety of events tied to the month-long initiative of the National Recreation and Park Association.
Visitors may submit stories about unique experiences at the parks or expressions of what the parks mean to them at this link on the Tennessee State Parks website. Some will be shared on the site and on the parks’ social media pages throughout July.
Tennessee State Parks events throughout the month will cover all ages and abilities. They provide opportunities for visitors to achieve healthier lifestyles and promote understanding of nature and conservation. A list of July events is available at this link.
The national observance of Park and Recreation Month began in 1985. The month highlights the vital role local park and recreation professionals, such as the staff at Tennessee State Parks, play in building strong communities.
