CARRBORO, NC – July is Parks and Recreation Month in Carrboro, as proclaimed by Mayor Barbara Foushee.
The National Park and Recreation Association has designated the theme of this year’s celebration as “Where You Belong,” celebrating the many ways parks and recreation professionals across the country foster a sense of belonging in their community by providing welcoming and inclusive programs, essential services for all ages and abilities, and safe, accessible spaces to build meaningful connections.
Parks and recreation programs are an integral part of communities because they help establish and maintain a good quality of life, contribute to the health of residents, and support the economic and environmental well-being of the community and the region.
The dedicated employees of the Recreation, Parks & Cultural Resources Department have an average of 18 years of service in providing excellent programs and amenities to grow our community. They strive to maintain safe and healthy park amenities for all ages and offers a comprehensive recreation program, including youth and adult classes, youth and adult athletic leagues, camps, workshops, clinics and many community events.
The Town’s Recreation, Parks & Cultural Resources Department is committed to advancing racial equity and is evaluating its programs, facilities and services using the Racial Equity Assessment Lens within the One Orange Racial Equity Framework
