July marks Park and Recreation Month, and the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) is emphasizing the various ways individuals can manage stress through local parks and recreation activities. These include family arts and crafts, exploring local trails, or engaging in exercise or dance classes.

"The most common activities among adults to unwind and de-stress include visiting a local park, taking a break from their routine, exercising outdoors, maintaining a healthy diet, expressing themselves creatively, and reaching out to their support system," according to NRPA.

Key findings are available through interactive charts with survey results. For more information, visit NRPA.org.
