July is Park and Recreation Month - Part One

 

By Dwight Hunter

One of my favorite guides to work on and to update each year is this guide: Park & Recreation Month Guide. It is a fun guide to look at park and recreation resources, and to view embedded videos, and to explore links and much more. This year's theme is Where You Belong. We celebrate parks and recreational venues for physical health, for mental well-being, for access to play, and for our community!

A new page on the guide is the Main Terrain Art Park located in downtown Chattanooga! Learn more about this park that combined green space, fitness stations, public art, and stormwater management.



We have new pictures submitted by the library staff. 

In my senior year in high school, I decided to take what I thought was an easy course called Recreational Sports. It wasn't easy. I learned how to play racquetball & volleyball, how to bowl, do archery, practice rifle target shooting; and I learned slow pitch softball, trampoline tricks, rappelling, golf, and disc golf. Those recreational lessons are still with me today.

Check out past featured parks of Red Clay, Standing Stone, and the Head of Sequatchie River. The Sequatchie River exits a cave at full force on its journey to the Tennessee River. Red Clay is a historic park about the last Cherokee councils. Standing Stone is located north of Cookeville.

Find a park to enjoy outside! Take a picture or write a note of your visit!
