July is National Parks and Recreation Month. Atlantic Parks & Recreation Department Director Bryant Rassmussen says Atlantic Parks and Recreation has put together a calendar of events with some options, to help you celebrate Parks and Recreation Month. Rasmussen says “We encourage everyone to get out and enjoy what the Atlantic Parks and Recreation have to offer. Whether it is on the calendar or your own preference, we hope you enjoy the great outdoors.”

He reminds patrons of the parks and others who just want to explore the great outdoors, that “We have a number of recreational equipment options available, free of charge to the you, to be checked out.”

Rasmussen also encourages you to follow Atlantic Parks & rec on Facebook, as each day they will put out a post with information on that day’s activity. As you are out there enjoying the parks, take pictures and use #ourparkandrecstory and #atlanticparksandrec. The first hashtag is the national one for the month and the second one is for the Atlantic Parks & Rec Department. Bryant wants you to help “Show the nation what Atlantic has to offer.”
