This July, Delray Beach residents don’t need to be bitten by a radioactive spider to discover that they have super powers. They just need to visit their nearest park or recreation center to find super powers they didn’t know they had.
Delray Beach Parks and Recreation is celebrating Park and Recreation Month, an initiative of the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), and all the ways parks and recreation has the power to transform our daily lives. From providing us places to get fit and stay healthy to fostering new relationships and forging a connection with nature, our close-to-home community park and recreation facilities provide essential services and improve quality of life.
Delray Beach Parks and Recreation will celebrate Park and Recreation Month providing a variety of activities for the entire family to enjoy. Activities include water walking, small craft safety, scuba lessons, free movies in the park, teen activities and more!
For a complete list of activities, please visit Programs and Activities Page, or view July Events Calendar
