The House of Representatives of Vermont has introduced a concurrent resolution recognizing July 2025 as Park and Recreation Month in the state. This resolution highlights the importance of park and recreation programs in Vermont, emphasizing their role in promoting active lifestyles, providing environmental protection, and serving as economic resources for local communities. Additionally, it acknowledges the significance of these programs in supporting therapeutic recreational services for individuals with disabilities.

Furthermore, the resolution designates July 18, 2025, as Vermont Park and Recreation Professionals Day, honoring the contributions of professionals in this field. The resolution is a continuation of a national initiative that began in 1985 when the National Recreation and Park Association established July as Park and Recreation Month, which was later supported by the U.S. House of Representatives in 2009. The Secretary of State is tasked with sending a copy of this resolution to the Vermont Recreation and Parks Association to ensure awareness and recognition of this initiative.
