This July, Lynnwood residents don’t need to be bitten by a radioactive spider to discover that they have super powers. They just need to visit their nearest park or the Lynnwood Recreation Center to find super powers they didn’t know they had.
Lynnwood Parks and Recreation is celebrating Park and Recreation Month, an initiative of the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), and all the ways parks and recreation has the power to transform our daily lives. From providing us places to get fit and stay healthy to fostering new relationships and forging a connection with nature, our close-to-home community park and recreation facilities provide essential services and improve quality of life.
“I invite all Lynnwood residents to get out and enjoy your beautiful parks systems. Super July is the best time to soak up the sun, splash around the spray parks, take to the slides, and get swinging,” says Director Lynn Sordel.
Lynnwood Parks and Recreation will celebrate Park and Recreation Month through an exciting new initiativeLynnwood Walks and our widely popular Shakespeare in the Park.
NRPA is celebrating the month by hosting a selfie photo contest. From July 4-31, NRPA will issue weekly challenges for people to get out in their parks and recreation facilities and discover their super powers. Weekly prizes will be awarded. The contest can be entered via Facebook or by uploading a photo to Twitter and Instagram using #SuperJuly and #SuperParkSelfie. Visit www.nrpa.org/July for official rules and details. NRPA also encourages all people that support parks and recreation to share their photos and love of parks using the hashtag #SuperJuly on social media.
