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.
