The Folsom City Council declared July as Parks Make Life Better Month during its regular meeting Tuesday night. Mayor Mike Kozlowski presented the proclamation to Kelly Gonzalez, Director of Parks & Recreation, alongside representatives from the Folsom Parks & Recreation Department and the Folsom Surf Soccer Club, recognizing their contributions to local programs and services.

Parks Make Life Better Month aims to highlight essential community messages: play, nature, exercise, positive spaces, gathering places, and forever. These principles underscore how the Folsom Parks & Recreation Department fosters community belonging.

The City of Folsom invites residents to participate in celebrating the significance of parks and recreation throughout July.

The Folsom Parks & Recreation Department offers endless opportunities for exciting, enriching activities for the entire family. There’s never been a better time to get outside and get active in Folsom. 

The City of Folsom offers  48 beautiful parks and miles of paved recreational trails that provide ample opportunities to enjoy Folsom’s stunning natural setting. 

Visit your neighborhood park to kick back with a family picnic, or relax in the shade at one of the many covered picnic areas. If you’re more interested in working up a sweat, opt for a nature hike, bike ride, or a meet-up with friends at  many sports courts in the city. Learn more at www.folsom.ca.us.
