July Is National Park and Recreation Month!

Every day is a great day to celebrate the ways parks and recreation make our community a better place: providing spaces for exercise or relaxing in nature, offering events where people interact with other humans instead of screens, organizing team sports opportunities for all skill levels - and so much more! But since 1985, July has been designated National Park and Recreation Month, because it is the perfect time to get out and see the great things happening at local parks and recreation facilities.

Game On! Find the Gnomes’ Homes

The 2019 National Park and Recreation Month theme is “Game On!” We hope you get out and visit the more than two dozen parks and points of interest in Grove City, many connected through an expanding network of multi-use trails. You know where Fryer and Gantz parks are, but how about Westgrove?

To encourage you to experience all our parks this summer, 20 gnomes are placed at parks around Grove City for you and your family to find. Pickup or download a chart to identify each uniquely painted gnome by his park home. The more gnomes you find, the greater your chance to win. When you post photos from your adventures, be sure to use #GameOnJuly and #GCGnomeHome to identify it! To be eligible for prizes, submit cards at EcoFest on Saturday, Aug. 10 or by Monday, Aug. 12 at the Kingston Center, 3226 Kingston Ave., (Monday – Thursday, 8 a.m.-8 p.m.; Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.) or Visit Grove City, 3995 Broadway (weekdays, 9 a.m.- 4 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m.-1 p.m.).

Watch for our special traveling ambassador gnome at special events throughout the summer!

For more information on events, parks and this contest, visit GroveCityOhio.gov.
