This week, we would like to take time each day to share what we are most thankful for!
Today, and every day, we are thankful for our 28 #parks! Our parks lie at the heart of recreation. They allow for FUN all year long, whether it`s playing tag at the playground during the summertime, nature watching in the fall, ice skating and sledding during the winter, or visiting our beautiful tulip beds in the spring. There is always something for everyone at our parks, and we are so happy to call them our own.
