Summer is here, which means it’s time to get your play on. This July, discover the power of play with Kenton County Parks & Recreation (KCP&R) as they celebrate Park and Recreation Month.
KCP&R 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 play, 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.
