DUARTE CITY COUNCIL PROCLAIMS
JULY 2021 AS PARKS MAKE LIFE BETTER
IN DUARTE MONTH
On Tuesday, July 13, the Duarte City Council proclaimed
July 2021 Parks Make Life Bet-ter Month in Duarte, recognizing
the Duarte Parks and Recreation Department’s positive
impact on the community.
“Duarte parks and recreational activities have always been an
integral part of life here in the city, but the COVID-19 shutdowns
truly exemplified what it means when we say “parks
make life better,” Mayor Bryan Urias stated. Our many parks,
trails, and open spaces offered socially distanced opportunities
for fitness and family time. Staff worked diligently to
adapt our community’s beloved gatherings to virtual events
and online classes that we could safely enjoy from home.
And now as the world opens back up, we are excited to welcome
back residents into our many facilities. Parks and Recreation
staff and volunteers truly make a lasting impact on
our community by offering the mental health boost we all
need, whether in-person, at a drive-thru event, or on Zoom.
This month, we recognize them for their dedication to enriching
our community for the better.”
Recreation has many positive impacts: it increases social
connection, promotes the arts, celebrates lifelong learning,
and can be therapeutic. Everyone from Duarte’s youth to
Duarte’s seniors can look to recreation to fill their free time.
By joining a Du-arte Parks and Recreation class or going to
one of the City’s many special events, they can enjoy positive
experiences with their neighbors while also picking up a new
skill or hobby.
Duarte’s parks and open spaces can also be outlets to improve
overall health. About 98% of California households visit a local
park at least once a year, while two in three households
visit a park once a month. Studies also show that 50% of
households par-ticipate in an organized recreation program.
“Parks and recreation is crucial to the health and vitality of
communities because they enhance the quality of life for individuals,”
Parks and Recreation Director Manuel En-riquez
commented. “We aim to serve Duarte residents of all ages
through the variety of programs, services, and outdoor spaces
available all year-round.”
For more information on Duarte’s Parks and Recreation, including
youth and adult rec-reation programs, visit the Parks
and Recreation Department website or call (626) 357-7931.
