Welcome to Parks Make Life Better Thursday! The California Parks and Recreation Society has found that parks benefit communities by providing:
Access to the serenity and inspiration of nature
Outdoor space to play and exercise
Facilities for self-directed and organized recreation
Positive alternatives for youth which help lower crime and mischief
Activities that facilitate social connections, human development, therapy, the arts and lifelong learning
Parks are such an important part of our community in Campbell so we need a whole day each week dedicated to celebrating them!
