PARKS AND REC MONTH
The Seminole County Board of County Commissioners has proclaimed July as Park and Recreation Month in Seminole County. Residents and visitors are encouraged to celebrate by visiting Seminole County parks, trails, and natural lands to earn free limited-edition posters.
Now in its third year, the Park Poster Challenge features artistic renderings of favorite Seminole County parks, inspired by the National Park Service travel posters of the 1930s and '40s. Participants can pick up free posters by visiting three Seminole County parks throughout July, taking a photo at each location, and presenting photos to staff at Red Bug Lake Park, Sanlando Park, Sylvan Lake Park, or the Museum of Seminole County History.
Find a park in "Florida's Natural Choice" at seminolecountyfl.gov/parks.
