The City of Colorado Springs invites residents and visitors to celebrate National Park and Recreation Month this July in Olympic City USA. This National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) initiative will be recognized locally with free community events and more to celebrate and promote the many park and recreation opportunities here in Colorado Springs.
