As we celebrate 70 years of parks, programs, and community impact, North Highlands Recreation & Park District (NHRPD) is marking this milestone with a year-long initiative focused on giving back: 70 Acts of Service.

This campaign is our way of saying thank you to the community that has supported us since 1955 — by continuing to invest in what makes North Highlands a great place to live, work, and play.

NHRPD will lead extra activities and service projects throughout the year to uplift our parks and neighborhoods — and we invite community members and local businesses to join in! Whether it’s picking up litter, helping a neighbor, supporting a nonprofit, or volunteering your time, every good deed counts.

Email your act of service to recreation@nhrpd.org. 

We'll recognize community contributions on our website and social media throughout the year. Tag us on your SM Post and use the hashtag #NHRPD70ACTS

Let’s celebrate 70 years by building an even stronger North Highlands — one act of service at a time. Look below to see what our community has already committed to doing!
