The House Concurrent Resolution recognizes July 2026 as Park and Recreation Month in Vermont and designates July 17, 2026, as Vermont Park and Recreation Professionals Day. It highlights the importance of park and recreation programs in promoting active lifestyles, environmental protection, and economic benefits within communities. Additionally, these programs play a crucial role in providing therapeutic recreational services for individuals with disabilities.

The resolution acknowledges the national recognition of July as Park and Recreation Month, established by the National Recreation and Park Association in 1985, and supported by the U.S. House of Representatives in 2009. The General Assembly's resolution aims to celebrate and honor the contributions of park and recreation professionals in Vermont, and it directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the Vermont Recreation and Parks Association.
