See the Power of Parks & Rec

Each July, Park and Recreation Month nationally recognizes the more than 160,000 full-time park and recreation professionals -- along with the hundereds of thousands of part-time and seasonal workers and volunteers - nationwide that maintain parks and recreation facilities. Parks and Recreation Districts, like Carbon Valley, have the power to bring people together, strengthen health and well-being, and build more resilient, connected communities. 

This year, we're showcasing the power of parks and rec with our Rec Connect Scavenger Hunt! Showcasing the power of connection, the power of play, the power of community, and the power of belonging that can be found in Carbon Valley Parks and Recreation. We are inviting you to share your experiences, memories, and stories about what parks and rec means to you at Carbon Valley. Share on our Facebook, Instagram, or email your stories to us to find the power of connection, play, community, and belonging in Carbon Valley--share your story and be entered to win a Carbon Valley Parks & Rec swag gift bag full of CVPRD gear and goodies!
