This special offer is only good at the Family Aquatic Center on Main Street.

Anyone entering the facility to swim during the remainder of July will be charged $3. This is a $1 saving for patrons ages 3-11 and those 55+, and $2 savings for patrons ages 12–54.

Hours of the Family Aquatic Center are Tuesday–Friday from 1-6 p.m., Saturday 11-7 p.m. and Sunday 1-6 p.m.

Since 1985, the United States has celebrated Park and Recreation Month. This year’s theme is Celebrate, Advocate, Recreate! Park and recreation agencies and citizens are encouraged to plan special events and initiatives that remind local decision makers and the community of the exciting and vital role that parks and recreation play in the lives of Americans.

“Park and Recreation Month is the time to show all of America, citizens and public decision makers alike, of the extremely exciting and important role that parks and recreation play for communities,” said Barbara Tulipane, CEO of NRPA. “I can’t think of a better excuse for citizens to get out every day and experience for themselves the positive health effects, economic benefits, social interaction, and connection to nature and open space that comes with vibrant and supported parks and recreation.”

Park and Recreation Month is a program of the National Recreation and Park Association. For more information, go to www.nrpa.org/july.
