Vice Chair Vaux and another council member read a mayoral proclamation recognizing July 2025 as Parks and Recreation Month for Nashville and Davidson County.
The proclamation, issued "on behalf of Mayor O'Connell," lists Metro Parks’ facilities and programs, including approximately 16,000 acres of open space, 189 parks, 107 miles of greenways, 158 playgrounds, seven public golf courses, multiple pools and community centers, and the Centennial Sportsplex and Wave Country. The text also highlights park-based environmental education at Beaman, Bells Bend, Shelby and Warner Parks; arts and recreation programming; and park police services.
The proclamation references the Nashville Parthenon’s repatriation exhibit and the Plan to Play 2025 update; the council announcement noted the Plan to Play online survey is open through July for residents who want to give feedback.
The reading was recorded as an official proclamation rather than a statutory action; no vote was recorded in the announcements period. Council members encouraged residents to visit Metro Parks and submit comments through the city’s Plan to Play engagement portal.
