City Council Proclaims July as "Parks Make Life Better!" Month

The City Council began its meeting on Monday proclaiming July 2024 as "Parks Make Life Better!" Month. Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) promotes physical, emotional, and mental health and wellness through open spaces and organized and self-directed fitness, play, and activity. PRCS creates memorable experiences through youth sports and enrichment activities, teen centers and programs, senior activity centers, adult fitness, and enrichment programs, free community events, and beyond.

PRCS also fosters social cohesiveness in communities by celebrating diversity, providing spaces to come together peacefully, modeling compassion, promoting social equity, connecting social networks, and ensuring all people have access to its benefits. PRCS supports safe, vibrant, attractive, and progressive communities that make life better through positive alternatives offered in their recreational opportunities, as well as supports economic vitality by providing jobs and workforce development for local youth and adults through volunteerism.

In the proclamation, the City Council recognizes the importance of equitable access to local parks, recreation, trails, open spaces, and facilities for the positive development of its residents and herby proclaims July 2024 as "Parks Make Life Better!" Month. Learn more about events and ways to engage with PRCS by visiting its page on the Culver City website.
