Parks & Rec’s monthlong lineup of events grows with city

The city’s Parks and Recreation Department is marking July with a series of free, family- friendly community events officials say are designed to bring neighbors together and promote a healthy lifestyle.

Parks and Recreation Month festivities began with the Family Free Swim July 3 at Morris Memorial Pool and wrap with the Community Block Party July 31 at Veterans Memorial Park. Grace Perez, who has worked for the city for five years and served as program coordinator for the last two, said she has seen attendance steadily increase as Elgin continues to grow.
