Durango Parks and Recreation

Last night, Durango City Council officially proclaimed July as Parks and Recreation Month 💚

This year's National Recreation and Park Association theme, "The Power Of...," highlights the incredible impact parks and recreation have on our communities through the power of play, connection, community, well-being, nature and belonging.

At Durango Parks and Recreation, we're proud to create spaces and programs that bring people together, encourage healthy lifestyles, inspire outdoor adventures, and foster a strong sense of community. From neighborhood parks and trails to recreation programs and community events, we're committed to Enrich Lives Every Day!

If you don't like breakfast... we might have a problem. 🥞😉

Seriously though, breakfast and all things Parks and Recreation are our jam.

Tomorrow morning, treat yourself to a delicious breakfast at one of these local spots after your Fourth of July celebrations, then head out to enjoy Durango's parks, trails, and open spaces.

Thank you for everyone who came out to the Freedom 5K! What an amazing morning to kick off the July 4 celebration ❤️🤍💙
