Celebrating "A Lifetime of Discovery!" — Episode 022

Park and Recreation Month is right around the corner, and we’re
super excited to celebrate with you all in a few days. As many of
you already know, the theme this year is A Lifetime of Discovery,
and we’re challenging everyone to explore the undiscovered roles
and offerings of their local parks and recreation. Things like
STEM programming, innovative health and wellness opportunities,
programs for older adults, conservation efforts, the list just
goes on.


One of our newer supporters of Park and Recreation Month is the
Waukegan Park District in Illinois.


Today’s guest is the Waukegan Park District’s Community Relations
Manager, Teddy Anderson. In this episode I’m talking with Teddy
about all the cool events that they’re planning for Park and
Recreation Month, the conservation efforts going on in Waukegan
Park District, and her life growing up in and around parks — she
even got married in a park!
