COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — July is National Parks and Recreation Month, and this month marks the 40th anniversary of this celebration.
To mark this, Colorado Springs will have two different events.
This Friday, July 11, Panorama Park on the southeast side of the city will host a silent disco. Later this month, Piñon Valley Park will hold a Music in the Park Event.
"...Really it is that chance to show how much Parks brings community together, how much it benefits our residents and tourists alike in terms of health benefits, just getting out in nature, having that chance to be active, to be, you know, kind of quiet and contemplative, depending on which site you want to go and enjoy, and so, we really want to just focus on that." said Kim King, Assistant Director of Colorado Springs Parks and Recreation.
Each event will also include kickball and basketball games.
