Each June, communities across Ontario celebrate June is Recreation and Parks Month (JRPM).  JRPM is recognized by municipalities, community organizations, and schools as a way of promoting the benefits of being active and recognizing the contribution that recreation and parks make to quality of life.

Access to park and recreation is a fundamental human need that helps foster personal health, strong communities, and social inclusion. JRPM celebrates Ontario’s spectacular parks and recreation services and raises awareness for the role they play as a pathway to individual, community, and environmental well-being.

To celebrate Recreation and Parks Month, the Town of Kingsville is encouraging everyone to participate in exciting activities and a contest. Get outside, see sights, and try activities with Kingsville’s Summer Students.

To be entered in the draw, snap pictures of the activity, post them on your social media using the hashtag #KingsvilleJRPM, and tag our Kingsville Parks and Recreation Facebook page. The more you post, the more chances you have to win. See the list of recommended daily activities and more contest details on our Contests page.
