July is National Parks and Recreation Month. This year, Greensboro will celebrate National Park and Recreation Month this July with Adult Recess, a movie at Hester Park, and Maker's Way at Gateway Gardens. Follow us on Facebook for fun stuff throughout the month.

Adult Recess

Calling all adults ages 21+! Hire the babysitter, grab your friends, and get ready for Adult Recess 2025!

Join us on Friday, July 11, at the Barber Park Sprayground from 6-9 pm for this free, adult-only evening of fun. There is music, dancing, nostalgic playground games, complete access to the sprayground, food and beverage vendors, and so much more.
 
This event admission is free, though the vendors will be charging. Adults ages 21+ only. Attendees must have a valid ID for entry into event. No outside drinks allowed. 

Movie in the Park

The fun continues for the entire family with a free movie at 8:15 pm on Saturday, July 19, at Hester Park. Bring a blanket, grab a bite to eat (while supplies last) from the Greensboro Police grill team, and cozy up for a movie under the stars.

Makers Way at Gateway

Stroll through Gateway Gardens on Sunday, July 27, from 1-4 pm for hands-on demos from "makers" of many things. This inaugural event will have vendors from glass blowing to chocolate making and more, food trucks, beer and cider as well as live performances.
