“We strive to provide residents with resources that can help improve their social, physical and mental health through recreational activities and shared public spaces that foster a sense of community," said Brad Keen, Port St. Lucie Parks and Recreation Department Acting Director. "In recognition of Park and Recreation Month, we encourage people to take advantage of these resources and enjoy everything the City has to offer.”
