BAGKGROUN D I NFORMATION Statewide public opinion research has found that 98 percent of California households visit a local park at least once a year; two- thirds visit a park once a month; half of households participate in an organized recreation program; and 95 percent of park use is with family and friends. Residents value recreation as it provides positive alternatives for children and youth to reduce crime and mischief especially during nonschool hours. lt promotes the arts, it increases social connections, aids in therapy and promotes lifelong learning. Lodi residents, including children, youth, families, adults, seniors, businesses, community organizations, and visitors benefit from the wide range of parks, trails, open space, sports fields, tennis courts, facilities and programs. Thousands of residents participate in youth sports and other activities, and Lodi Lake Park has more than 200,000 visitors a year. Parks provide access to the serenity and the inspiration of nature and outdoor spaces as well as preserve and protect the historic, natural and cultural resources in our community. Through this proclamation, the City Council urges all its residents to recognize that parks and recreation enrich the lives of Lodi residents and visitors, as well as add value to the community's homes and neighborhoods. With July being celebrated across the nation as Parks and Recreation Month, the Council is asked to proclaim July 2019 as Parks Make Life BetteP Month in the City of Lodi.
