Guilford County, NC – This July, Guilford County Parks and Recreation invites residents and visitors to celebrate Parks and Recreation Month, which highlights the important role parks and recreation play in building stronger, healthier, and more vibrant communities. The month is also meaningful for the Parks team because it celebrates the department’s increased focus on recreation, now reflected in its name.
“Parks and Recreation Month is a wonderful opportunity to discover all the Guilford County Parks and Recreation system has to offer. Whether you're exploring one of our seven regional parks, enjoying a walk along our more than 60 miles of trails and greenways, or visiting one of our eleven parks preserves, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
