The House concurrent resolution No. R-60 recognizes July 2025 as Park and Recreation Month in Vermont and designates July 18, 2025, as Vermont Park and Recreation Professionals Day. This resolution is sponsored by Representatives from South Burlington and highlights the significance of park and recreation programs in promoting active lifestyles, environmental protection, and economic benefits within communities. It also acknowledges the role of these programs in providing therapeutic recreational services for individuals with disabilities.

The resolution draws on the historical context of Park and Recreation Month, which was established by the National Recreation and Park Association in 1985 and later supported by the U.S. House of Representatives in 2009. The General Assembly's recognition of this month and the specific day for professionals in the field aims to honor their contributions and encourage community engagement in recreational activities. Additionally, the resolution directs the Secretary of State to send a copy to the Vermont Recreation and Parks Association to further promote awareness and appreciation for these essential services.
