This July, ‘We Rise Up for Parks & Recreation’ in Queen Creek

In honor of Park and Recreation Month, the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) is highlighting all of the ways communities are stronger, more vibrant and more resilient because of parks and recreation (video).

The Town of Queen Creek offers award-winning parks, an extensive trail system with the Queen Creek and Sonoqui washes and the Trails at Horseshoe Park, along with a variety of family friendly recreation classes and opportunities.

Celebrate Park and Recreation Month, the Recreation Division is hosting a QC Splash Pad Party on Friday, July 15 from 6-8 p.m. at Mansel Carter Oasis Park, 19535 E. Appleby Road. Don’t miss out on food trucks, music, family fun and more. Learn more.

The Recreation team is actively planning for an exciting lineup of fall events including Founders’ Day and Trunk or Treat. Businesses, organizations, and individuals are invited to participate by hosting a vendor booth, sponsorships, or volunteering. Learn more.
