This month the West University Place Parks and Recreation Department is celebrating with the theme Where You Belong for Parks and Recreation. All month long we'll be highlighting ways our community is stronger, more vibrant, and more resilient because of parks and recreation.

Join West U for Parks and Recreation Month, as we celebrate how West University Place is a catalyst for positive change in service equity, and overall health and well-being because of parks and recreation. A variety of activities are planned for residents of all ages and abilities - including Independence Day Parade to kick off Parks and Recreation Month and the Sugar Rush at Whitt Johnson Park to end the month-long celebration.
