Big Day of Play is a way to get important information about health and wellness, discover unique opportunities to become active, enjoy healthy food and learn how recreation can change your life.
The event grew out of Parks’ Healthy Parks, Healthy You initiative, which aligns with national efforts such as First Lady Michele Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign.
