(Lawrenceville, Ga., June 30, 2021) -- July is National Park and Recreation Month, which means it’s all about fun activities and events across Gwinnett County. “We believe parks and recreation play an important role in supporting our vibrant community,” said Gwinnett Parks and Recreation Division Director Chris Minor. “From connecting residents with inclusive and equitable services, promoting historic and nature conservation, providing athletic, aquatic, educational and recreational experiences and maintaining safe parks, we endeavor to help our community thrive.”

This year’s theme highlights how parks and recreation positively impacts communities. The County will offer free or low-cost activities like art, a family game night and an intercultural festival.

People can also donate children’s books at any parks and recreation facility. Their gift will support the Building Brains Anywhere G.R.E.A.T Little Minds Book Exchanges.
