If you didn’t know that July is considered National Parks and Recreation Month, Brookhaven has you covered.
The city is celebrating the month with a 5K. The city will host its fourth annual “It Starts in the Park” 5K race at Blackburn Park on Saturday, July 21.
“Our Parks Department wanted to host an annual event in July to coincide with that, and thought a 5K beginning and ending in a park would be a great way to showcase one of our signature parks,” Ann Marie Quill city spokesperson.
