JULY IS PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH

This year’s Parks and Recreation Month theme — “Where You Belong” — celebrates the many ways park and recreation professionals across the country foster a sense of belonging in their community by providing welcoming and inclusive programs, essential services for all ages and abilities, and safe, accessible spaces to build meaningful connection.

St. Charles Parks and Recreation is an extension of your own backyard! Living close to parks and other recreation facilities is consistently related to higher physical activity levels for both adults and youth. Moreover, parks provide a connection to nature, which studies demonstrate relieves stress, strengthens interpersonal relationships and improves mental health.

SAFETY IN THE PARKS

While out and about in the parks, our Ranger Division would like to remind you of a few safety tips and rules for everyone to have the most enjoyable experience. 

• Do not leave valuables inside your vehicle in plain sight. Properly secure your belongings or leave them at home.
• Carry your cell phone or have a buddy join you while exercising in the parks.
• Speed limit in ALL parks is 15 mph, be vigilant and watch for pedestrians.
• Dogs are required to be on a leash at all times and owners are responsible for removing pet waste.
• No motorized vehicles, including golf carts, on trails, sidewalks or grass.
• Please be sure all fires within a barbecue pit are extinguished prior to leaving.
• Please be courteous to other park visitors by picking up your litter and avoiding disruptive behavior.
• Keeping your cell phone close can not only save your life in an emergency but also aid in saving the lives of others. 

To report a suspicious person, activity or vehicle of concern, call the St. Charles Police/Ranger Dispatch at (636) 949-3300. We appreciate all eyes and ears within the parks and welcome comments. General observations can be made by calling the St. Charles Parks and Recreation Department's Administration Office at (636)949-3372.
