| Celebrate National Recreation & Parks Month! | | June 27 ~ July 31 | | Since 1985, the National Recreation and Park Association has designated July as Recreation and Parks Month. Recreation facilities and parks across the country annually use July to celebrate the kick off of summer programming, as well as a time to pull their communities together to volunteer, get involved in great outdoor physical activities, and advocate for parks and recreation. As part of this year's celebration, Oakland Parks and Recreation is hosting activities throughout the month to keep the entire community active and involved, including special events, free swims, and open houses at all of our recreation centers.
