Through many of our program brochures, literature,
t-shirts, and other promotions, you may have seen the logo, “Parks &
Recreation...the Benefits are Endless…”. The Hampton Recreation & Parks
Department has adopted this National Recreation and Parks program along
with numerous other departments across the country in an effort to
inform our respective communities of the endless benefits that parks and
recreation provide.
Recreation can increase community pride,
build self esteem, build family unity, create memories, and offer social
interaction. Numerous programs offered by the Hampton Recreation & Parks
Department provide proof of those benefits. Whether it’s walking,
participating in youth sports classes, adult basketball and softball
leagues, enjoying our after school program or summer day and sport
camps, or having fun with senior activities, recreation truly provides
outstanding benefits.
Parks can help protect the environment,
increase property value, and help make you healthier, happier, and less
stressed. Citizens of Hampton need look no further than Tuck Field,
Eaton Park, or Lew Brown Park as perfect examples of how parks can be
beneficial. For example, Lew Brown Park was used as a dump site for
years and is now a site that provides for walking, flag football,
skateboarding, soccer, volleyball, inline skating, and hockey. Property
values adjacent to the park have increased along with a remarkable
improvement in the environment.
The staff of the Hampton Recreation & Parks Department encourages all Hampton citizens to take advantage of our parks and participate in our recreation programs. As you can see... the benefits are endless.
