WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
i WHEREAS,
JULY IS PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH
parks and recreation facilities and programs are an integral part of
communities throughout this country, including the City of Milton,
Georgia; and
parks and recreation are vitally important to establishing and
maintaining the quality of life in our communities, ensuring the health of
all citizens, and contributing to the economic and environmental well-
being of a community and region; and
parks and recreation programs build healthy, active communities that aid
in the prevention of chronic disease, provide therapeutic recreation for
those who are mentally or physically disabled, and also improve the
mental and emotional health of all citizens; and
WHEREAS, parks and recreation programs increase a community's economic
prosperity by creating desirable places to live, work, play and visit,
thereby contributing to increased property values, increased tourism,
attraction and retention of businesses, and crime reduction; and
WHEREAS, parks and natural recreation areas improve water quality, protect
groundwater, prevent flooding, improve the quality of the air we breathe,
provide vegetative buffers to development, produce habitat for wildlife
and provide a place for children and adults to connect with nature; and
WHEREAS, parks and recreation activities and special events provide opportunities
for citizens to come together and experience a sense of community and
fellowship; and
WHEREAS, the City of Milton strives to enhance and preserve the quality of life for
Milton residents by providing recreational programs and services, both
passive and active in nature, with respect for our City's rural heritage
and its natural beauty; and
WHEREAS, the City of Milton recognizes all of the benefits derived from parks and
recreation resources,
NOW, THEREFORE, We, the Mayor and City Council hereby proclaim July 2011 as "Parks and
Recreation Month" in the City of Milton and encourage all citizens to join us in celebrating and
supporting our ongoing parks and recreation initiatives.
