The goal is to promote the benefits of being active and recognize the contribution that recreation and parks make to the quality of life. The provincial Recreation and Parks Month 2024 theme is ‘'Community Thrives Here.’ 

“Take time in June to try a new activity or return to an old favourite,” said Councillor Lesley Parnell and Councillor Gary Baldwin. “Access to parks, sports and recreation helps foster physical and mental health, strong communities, and social inclusion.  Recreation and Parks Month is a time to celebrate Peterborough’s remarkable parks, trails and sports and recreation services and raise awareness of the role they play as a pathway to individual and community well-being.”  

Throughout June, Peterborough Recreation and Parks Services will highlight family-friendly, fun recreation events in the community.

Everyone is invited to the Recreation and Parks Month Kick-off at Quaker Foods City Square between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday. The kick-off will feature breakfast, refreshments, group fitness and children’s activities alongside the weekly Saturday Farmers Market.
