Every July, Chandler Parks and Recreation joins communities across the country in celebrating National Park and Recreation Month an initiative created by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) to recognize the important role recreation and green spaces play in the quality of life we enjoy in Chandler.
Chandler Parks & Recreation brings people together, from sharing a story at one of our parks, making new friends at a recreation program, or seeing a familiar face at one of our facilities. Join us as we celebrate how Chandler Parks & Recreation fosters a sense of belonging in our community through inclusive parks, facilities, and diverse programs.
Meet the people who bring our parks and recreation programs to life, the professionals who steward our park amenities, and the teams who dedicate their talents to creating your favorite programs and activities.
This month, visit your local park, aquatic center, or recreation facility to join the fun! Plus, follow our Facebook and Instagram channels for giveaways and more!
